Where did the Universe Come From? (prove to you that God exists" ) part 4




Where did the Universe Come From? 
Part 4: "If you can read this sentence, I can prove to you that God exists"




  Yeah, I know, that sounds crazy.  But I'm not asking you to believe anything just yet, until you see the evidence for yourself.  All I ask is that you refrain from disbelieving while I show you my proof.  It only takes a minute to convey, but it speaks to one of the most important questions of all time.

  So how is this article proof of the existence of God?:

  This article you're reading contains letters, words and sentences.  It contains a message that means something. As long as you can read English, you can understand what I'm saying.

Where did the Universe come from?
Part 3: Why the Big Bang was the most precisely planned event in all of history



  In your kitchen cabinet, you've probably got a spray bottle with an adjustable nozzle.  If you twist the nozzle one way, it sprays a fine mist into the air.  You twist the nozzle the other way, it squirts a jet of water
in a straight line.  You turn that nozzle to the exact position you want so you can wash a mirror, clean up
a spill, or whatever.

  If the universe had expanded a little faster, the matter would have sprayed out into space like fine mist from a water bottle - so fast that a gazillion particles of dust would speed into infinity and never even
form a single star.
   If the universe had expanded just a little slower, the material would have dribbled out like big drops of water, then collapsed back where it came from by the force of gravity.

  A little too fast, and you get a meaningless spray of fine dust.  A little too slow, and the whole universe collapses back into one big black hole.

  The surprising thing is just how narrow the difference is.  To strike the perfect balance between too fast and
too slow, the force, something that physicists call "the Dark Energy Term" had to be accurate to one part in
ten with 120 zeros. 
    If you wrote this as a decimal, the number would look like this:
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

  In their paper "Disturbing Implications of a Cosmological Constant" two atheist scientists from Stanford University stated that the existence of this dark energy term would have required a miracle..."An unknown agent" intervened in cosmic history "for reasons of its own."

Part 2: "Bird Droppings on my Telescope"

  The Big Bang theory was totally rejected at first. But those who supported it had predicted that the ignition
of the Big Bang would have left behind a sort of 'hot flash' of radiation.

  If a big black wood stove produces heat that you can feel, then in a similar manner, the Big Bang should
produce its own kind of heat that would echo throughout the universe.

  In 1965, without looking for it, two physicists at Bell Labs in New Jersey found it.  At first, Arno Penzias
and Robert Wilson were bothered because, while trying to refine the world's most sensitive radio antenna,
they couldn't eliminate a bothersome source of noise. They picked up this noise everywhere they pointed the
antenna.
At first they thought it was bird droppings.  The antenna was so sensitive it could pick up the heat of bird droppings (which certainly are warm when they're brand new) but even after cleaning it off, they still picked up this noise.

Part 1: Einstein's Big Blunder

  100 years ago, Albert Einstein publishes three papers that rocked the world.  These papers
proved the existence of the atom, introduced the theory of relativity, and described quantum
mechanics.

  Pretty good debut for a 26 year old scientist, huh?

  His equations for relativity indicated that the universe was expanding.  This bothered him, because if it was expanding, it must have had a beginning and a beginner.
Since neither of these appealed to him, Einstein introduced a 'fudge factor' that ensured a 'steady state' universe, one that had no beginning or end.

  But in 1929, Edwin Hubble showed that the furthest galaxies were fleeing away from each other, just as the Big Bang model predicted.  So in 1931, Einstein embraced what would later be known as the Big Bang theory, saying,
"This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation to which I have ever listened."  He referred to the 'fudge factor' to achieve a steady-state universe as the biggest blunder of his career.
