Astonishing “Coincidences”

0:00Scientists cannot explain cosmic coincidences. Learn about it next on today's Creation Moment. And now, here is our Creation Moment's host, Ian Taylor. Suppose you receive an unexpected bill in the Nile for $124, and in the same mail there is a check for $124 from a friend, saying, Here is the $100 you loaned me four years ago with interest. Well, that would be a happy coincidence. But what if hundreds of seemingly unrelated events all work together? That would be beyond coincidence. And that's why scientists are beginning to wonder, whether there isn't a plan to the universe after all. For life to exist means that literally millions of details must all come together in just the right way at the same time. If the force of gravity or the force is holding the atom together were only slightly stronger or weaker, life could not exist.

Many scientists have actually said in print that they are astonished at the huge number of cosmic coincidences, and they speak of the anthropic principle, meaning that it seems everything is finally balanced to allow life to appear. Some even suggest that the universe has an impersonal intelligence. Well, why cloud the issue this way? Why not simply recognize that there is indeed a creator God who has created an entire universe just for the benefit of life, especially mankind?
