Design or Accident?
When it comes down to it, this universe was either planned by intelligence, or it is completely accidental. As you contemplate the choices, here are a few things to consider.
- The earth is on average approximately 93 million miles from the Sun: design or accident?
- The earth is tilted on its axis 23 degrees: design or accident?
- The moon is on average approximately 238,000 miles from the earth: design or accident?
- Gravity on earth’s surface has a force of 9.8 meters per second: design or accident?
- Think about all the laws of science (e.g., biogenesis, thermodynamics, etc.): design or accident?
- How did life originate on the planet: design or accident?
- How did the planet originate: design or accident?
- Why does mankind have the ability to use logic and reason, and animal kind does not: design or accident?
- Why does mankind rule the planet over plants and animals: design or accident?
One last question: how many “accidents” will you admit to until you realize that these are no accidents at all, but designs?![]()
[Editor’s Note: The created universe is evidence of something (Romans 1:20). Is it evidence for design or accident? The Designer also provided written revelation—the Bible, especially the New Testament for all people living today. ~ Louis Rushmore]
