Sir Isaac Newton

This is excellent! You think this would knock a little sense or at least be food for thought to the Atheist? Not to be mean, but as scriptures says "The fool in his heart says there is no God" This is but one example (the argument in the story below) which could be used to show proof of a creator. You would never look at a painting and say that there was no painter. You would never look at a building and say there is no builder would you? I could argue "but you have never seen the painter or builder have you? Would you then change your mind? No, you would still conclude that there was a builder and painter because the painting and the building is proof that they exist. It is no different with our extremely complex universe. There are millions of man made things on this planet, some we know how they were made and other's we don't. Yet we marvel at how complex, organized and designed they are. We Look at things like the Taj Mahal or Stonehedge to give a couple of examples. If this is what mere man could do, how much more can God do? Remember that our world is spinning at about 65,000 mph in it's proper orbit and on it's designed axis. Do you really think there isn't someone sustaining just these few components of many in which keep human life alive and possible? What about the oxygen content in the atmosphere, the "just so right" distance of the sun etc.... God is omniscient and he loves human kind, we are made in his image. We are his favorite, if you will. And he makes sure that our planet does what it's supposed to do each and every day. Enjoy the story, I think it's brilliant.



Sir Isaac Newton is considered one of the two greatest scientists of the last 500 years. He clearly saw the implications of celestial mechanics and the intricately designed wonders in the sky.

“One day, as Newton sat reading in his study with his mechanism on a large table near him, a friend, who saw things differently than he did, stepped in. Scientist that he was, he recognized at a glance what was before him. Stepping up to it, he slowly turned the crank, and with undisguised admiration watched the heavenly bodies all move in their relative speed in their orbits.

“Standing off a few feet he exclaimed, ‘My! What an exquisite thing this is! Who made it?’ Without looking up from his book, Newton answered, ‘Nobody.’

“Quickly turning to Newton, his friend said, ‘Evidently you did not understand my question. I asked who made this?’ Looking up now, Newton solemnly assured him that nobody made it, but that the apparatus had just happened to assume the form it was in.

“The astonished man replied with some heat, ‘You must think I am a fool! Of course somebody made it, and he is a genius, and I’d like to know who he is!’

“Laying his book aside, Newton arose and said, ‘This thing is but a puny imitation of a much grander system, whose laws you know,—and here I am not able to convince you that this mere toy before you is without a designer and maker!

” ‘Yet you profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken, with its more massive and complicated orbital motions, has come into being without either designer or maker! Now tell me by what sort of reasoning do you reach such a conclusion?’ “—The Minnesota Technolog, October 1957.
