Episode Synopsis

This week we get a bit closer to the answer in our journey of the question of whether or not we were created or if the universe is just the product of chance as we look at a few of those next steps after the Big Bang with the creation of stars and galaxies.  Don’t forget how much God loves you! Discovery Channel, Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking: The Story of Everything, 2011 “In the first few minutes of the Universe, gravity’s cooling effect doesn’t much care whether nuclear reactions are taking place.  The Universe will expand and cool regardless.  Thus, the nuclear reactions have one and only one chance: there is one short period of time when the Universe has the right temperature to power a certain reaction, and if the right ingredients aren’t ready, then too bad.  The temperature isn’t going back up.”  Lewis and Barnes, A Fortunate Universe, 2016, Cambridge University Press “A common-sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super-intellect has monkeyed with the physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature.  The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put the conclusion almost beyond question.”  Hoyle, The Universe: Past and Present Reflections, 1982
