cosmic irony. Cosmic irony is the belief that the universe is so large and man is so small that the universe is indifferent to the plight of man.

Three specific examples of cosmic irony symbolism used by Crane are‚ the power of the ocean against the insignificance of the boat‚ the sea against the universe‚ and the little boat in a vast sea from the people

Best Explanations Approach – Existence of God is the best explanation for certain effects we see in the universe. I can only prove what I can see‚ taste‚ hear – but electrons (we can’t see‚ taste or hear it); black holes (we can’t see‚ taste or hear) we just see the effects that we see that the best explanation is that there are electrons and black holes and god. Defeasible – Possibly could be wrong. Defeater‚ if true could defeat the argument of God’s existence. Cumulative Cases Approach

Eicher in the Astronomy magazine tries to answer 5 questions about the universe. The first problem is the Big Bang and how did it happen. It is rather difficult to be sure what was there before the Big Bang but it is possible to describe what happened after that.

At first it took a fracture of a second while the universe kept expanding but during hundreds of thousands of years‚ it has slowed

The Cosmological Argument The cosmological argument is the argument that the existence of the world or universe is strong evidence for the existence of a God who created it. The existence of the universe‚ the argument claims‚ stands in need of explanation‚ and the only adequate explanation of its existence is that it was created by God.

that society must suppose a creator for all of it because it could not have occurred only by chance. As an attempt for William Paley to prove God’s existence‚ he explains a “watch” analogy. A watch is created by a watchmaker‚ as the universe is created by a universe maker: God. This argument states that after glancing at a watch lying on the ground‚ one will pick it up and begin to notice all of its complex parts‚ which altogether work in a particular function to keep track of time. It is crucial
