Fine Tuning of the Universeالضبط الدقيق للكون

Before We start

• There is no experiment to prove/disprove ( إثبات ) God’s existence

• However, there is EVIDENCE دالئل ) ) from Nature to point towards God “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1 ( ث بمجد هللا والفلك يخ السماوات تحد بمل يدي .ب )

• We will discuss some scientific principles

The Atheistic Argumentsالتحديات اإللحادية

• The lack of evidence to back biblical historical claims

عدم وجود أدلة تايخية كافية إلثبات مصداقية )(الكتاب المقدس

• Science eliminates the need for God

(اللم يلغي الحاجة إلى إل )

• The Problem of Evil (وجود الش)

• The Problem of Pain and Suffering (وجود األلم والماناة)

The Beginning

ضفي البدء خلق هللا السماوات و اال

Cosmology: Before 1929

Aristotle

Most common: The Universe is

Eternal and Uncreated

“Deceived by their inherent atheism it appeared to them that nothing governed or ruled the universe, and that was all was given up to chance. To guard us against this error the writer on the creation, from the very first words, enlightens our understanding with the name of God; In the beginning God created. What a glorious order! He first establishes a beginning, so that it might not be supposed that the world never had a beginning.” Hexaemeron by St. Basil the Great, Homily 1

Cosmology: The Big Bang Theory (االنفجار العظيم)

• What does it imply based on our current understanding?

• TIME had a beginning

Theory of Relativity

We live in a Spacetime Fabric

Cosmology: The First Second of the Big Bang

• If gravity was slightly larger, the universe would have collapsed on itself!• If there was an equal amount of antimatter that existed, then no matter would

exist• Scientists are able to answer most of the how? And what? Questions, but not

the why? • Scientists admit that ALL PHYSICAL LAWS were broken during the first second

of creation (i.e. First Law of Thermodynamics)• WHY IS THERE SOMETHING RATHER THAN NOTHING?
