On the Sunnyside

There Probably is No God??

Back in 2009, many of us saw the TV news clip that showed London buses with signs claiming that there probably is no God. The lady who instigated the campaign said there was no scientific evidence that God exists. Science depends heavily on observation of the facts. I have observed the following.

Our life depends on access to air. A few minutes without it and we are dead. It just so happens that we are surrounded by it in just the right composition of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases. Our planet has the gravity to keep it from dispersing into space and our bodies have the respiratory system that is just right for using it. That’s no accident.

Without water we’d be dead in days. It just so happens that this planet has lots of it, even to the point where the water cycle and natural earth filters continually purify it from the pollutants we give it. Our bodies have the digestive and circulatory systems just right for using it. Not only that, it is a remarkable solvent and cleansing agent. Contrary to most liquids, water expands when it freezes. If that didn’t happen ice would sink and successive layers would reduce all lakes and rivers to solid ice killing everything in it. How nice!!

All around us we have fruit, vegetables and meat sources just right for our bodies’ needs. We are equipped with a digestive and elimination system that extracts what we need and disposes of the rest. Our circulation system is equipped with a red corpuscle transportation system to deliver the nutrients where needed. How remarkably fortuitous this is!!

Our planet’s axis is tilted at just the right angle to give us seasons. The sun is just the right distance away and the revolutions and rotations of planet earth provide us with night and day plus the seasons we crucially need. Again, how would we survive without this?

Our bodies are equipped with senses for our use and survival. The human brain capacity was there long before computers. Then we use this brain to decide that no one planned or designed all of the above and a multitude of other amazing benefits. Can you believe that???
