  7. Big Bang Foundations • singularity beginning • expanding universe • cooling cosmos

  8. Cosmic Singularity Beginning • Genesis 1:1 Genesis 2:3 • Genesis 2:4 Psalm 148:5 • Isaiah 40:26 Isaiah 42:5 • Isaiah 45:18 John 1:3 • Col. 1:15-17 Hebrews 11:3 If God created the cosmos, who created God?

  9. Stretching the Heavens • Job 9:8 Psalm 104:2 • Isaiah 40:22 Isaiah 42:5 • Isaiah 44:24 Isaiah 45:12 • Isaiah 48:13 Isaiah 51:13 • Jer. 10:12 Jer. 51:15 • Zech. 12:1

  10. Cosmos Designed for Life • gravitational force constant • strong nuclear force constant • weak nuclear force constant • electromagnetic force constant • e-m. to grav. force ratio • number ratio of protons to electrons • ratio of electron to proton mass

  11. Cosmos Design (cont.) • expansion rate of the universe • entropy level of the universe • mass density of the universe • baryon density of the universe • space energy density of cosmos • age of the universe • velocity of light

  12. Cosmos Design (cont.) • initial uniformity of radiation • homogeneity of the universe • mean distance between galaxies • mean distance between stars • average size of galaxy clusters • spatial locations of galaxy clusters • fine structure constant

  13. Cosmos Design (cont.) • 12C to 16O energy level ratio • decay rate of 8Be • ground state energy level for 4He • decay rate of the proton • neutron to proton mass ratio • nucleon to anti-nucleon # ratios • polarity of the water molecule

  14. Cosmos Design (cont.) • epoch for hypernova eruptions • number & types of hypernovae • epoch for supernova eruptions • number & types of supernovae • epoch for white dwarf binaries • white dwarf binary dist’n & freq. • ratio of exotic to ordinary matter

  15. Cosmos Design (cont.) • no. of dimensions in early cosmos • no. of dimensions in cosmos now • mass of the neutrino • exotic mass particles decay rates • size of big bang ripples • size of relativistic dilation factor • uncertainty magnitude in q. mech.

  16. Some Quotes from Scientists A superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology. • Sir Fred Hoyle, The Universe

  17. Quotes (cont.) As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency—or rather Agency— must be involved. • Georges Greenstein, The Symbiotic Universe

  18. Quotes (cont.) It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature’s numbers to make the Universe. • Paul Davies, The Cosmic Blueprint

  19. Quotes (cont.) The impression of design is overwhelming. • Paul Davies, The Cosmic Blueprint

  20. Some non-theist rebuttals • The Christian God would not make so many useless stars and galaxies • We would not be here unless the universe had the attributes we observe. • For an infinite number of universes an infinite variety of sets of attributes are possible.
