Creation Declares God’s Existence

"But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; and the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you. Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you; and let the fish of the sea declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?” Job 12:7-10

Dr. Stephen Unwin is a physicist who has written an interesting book called, The Probability of God. Through mathematical calculations he has established the probability of God’s existence at 67%.

Unwin earned a doctorate in quantum gravity from the University of Manchester in England. He now runs a consulting firm in Columbus, Ohio where he figures the odds of nuclear-power-plant disasters and the likelihood of complex equipment failures. Since the equation involving God includes uncertainty, he utilized a key tool called the Bayesian theorem. The theorem is designed to represent uncertainty in an equation. Unwin used six sets of evidence that ranged from the existence of evil to the reality of miracles. When the final calculations were rendered, the probability of God existing stood at 67%.

Unwin realizes this outcome is equally offensive to both atheists and believers. He said, “there is something to annoy everyone in that number.” In comparison, a Harris Poll from October 2003 found that 12% of Catholics, 8% of Protestants, and 25% of Jews don’t believe in the existence of God. As for the man who knows the numbers, Unwin says he is 95% certain that God exists. The 28% improvement over his mathematical probability of 67% is what Unwin calls his faith.

I am, however, 100% sure that God exists! The heavens declare the glory of God, and so today, let’s go to church and do the same!
