It explains how we cannot merely think that we know everything when in reality we are all very small in the grand magic trick which is the universe. We are only here for a brief lapse of time in which we have to explore and understand the universe for what it is. What we see every day with our eyes is nothing to the mystery that is our world.

certain phenomena within the universe appear to display features of design and are perfectly adapted to fulfil their function. Therefore‚ if features of the universe are so perfectly designed‚ for example the structure and function of the heart‚ then there must be a designer‚ which points towards the existence of God.

is most commonly known as the “Big Bang”. Most people believe the Big Bang Theory proves the existence of a universe without a creator but as most prominent scientists dig deeper‚ they are finding the universe is too complex to NOT have a creator‚ or Intelligent Designer.
