The world we live in was not created randomly. There is plenty of scientific evidence to prove this. Gregg Easterbrook discusses this in his essay, “The New Convergence.” There are a few things he brings up to make this point. The first is how exact gravity is. If it were slightly stronger or weaker things would not work out the way they do now. The stars and cosmos would either blow up or would have never been able to come together.
Another thing to look at when realizing the world is not completely random is the element of Carbon. This element needed exact conditions to be produced in the quantities it is found in. The late astronomer Fred Hoyle converted from atheism because after studying this he realized that there must be “purposeful intelligence” behind the creation of the world.
This fact that randomness is not at play when looking at how exact the earth is shows evidence of a higher being. It shows that somebody had a plan and knew exactly how things such as gravity and carbon would need to be created in order to work in our favor. Although many scientists may be atheist or not believe that a supreme being could not have formed the earth, there is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise. Science and religion need to use this to work together to explore the universe.
