Do you believe god and science contradict with each other? The existence of our entire universe and everything in it comes down to about 30 numbers, physicists call these the physical constant. Now these numbers as I understand them are fixed values of a fundamental physical condition we find in our universe. For example, the force of gravity (gravitational constant is 6.673 * 10^-11 Nm2 kg^-2) or the expansion rate of the universe (73kms/s/Mpc). Each one of these numbers are so perfectly precise and so perfectly balanced with one another that if any one of them were off plus or minus, the slimmest fraction and in some cases literally this much (x10^123), there would be no life and no universe. For example, if the gravitational constant were just a hair bigger or smaller, the stars of the early universe (Kevin 39^695) would be too hot or too cold to produce any life essential elements. If the electro magnetic force (74832197^27) was just a hair stronger, atoms can form into molecules and the entire universe would be a giant cloud of subatomic particles. If the mass of a tiny little proton was just a tiny bit bigger, there would be no hydrogen which means no hydrogen stars which means no carbon and oxygen made in those stars which basically means no water and no biology. So that it appears to most physicists not to all, that since the very beginning the entire universe has been perfectly tuned for one thing, life. Now physicists do admit that they have no idea how these numbers came to be so perfectly just right., and they all agree that it would be unreasonable to think that it all just happened by chance. So according to the Oxford mathematician Roger Penrose , there are only two possible explanations that either these numbers were set by a super intellect, or they occurred naturally in one universe amidst trillions upon trillions upon trillions upon trillions of other universes we could never know possibly exist. Now there’s another shred of scientific evidence to support the claims of either of these things. DNA, it takes about two billion lines of unique handwritten code by over 25,000 engineers and a vast empire of computer and data centres spread through the entire globe to run, google. It takes over 2 billion unique genetic code arranged in a precise specific manner written inside a cell weighting less than a few thousand millionths of a gram to run, you. A far more complex and superior system than all of google (you > google). Now imagine looking at all that google code, and then me telling you, it all just kind of evolved together on its own, somehow. Evolution it has no answers when it comes to the origins of life or why we out of every species on earth at some point went from clueless caveman, to thinking, speaking, writing, art, imagining, loving, reflecting, self-aware, reasonable creatures, or in other words, a soul. So what makes more sense, that life and intelligence and the ability to think and love comes from something that has life and intelligence and things and loves and that it comes from dirt. And that the Big Bang was a catholic priest (Georges Lemaitre 1894- 1966) who came up with the idea, so we’re okay with it. And most physicists agree that there had to be a beginning to the universe even if you believe in multiverse theory. So the million dollar question is, how did we go from this (nothing), to this (something, a society that has the ability to think, speak, write, reason). “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atoms together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter” - Max Planck
