The Physical Testifies to the Metaphysical

There is so much about the universe that we still do not understand. The universe is such an astounding phenomenon that its satisfactory explanation is not possible without accepting that it has a Creator. Scientific study reveals that there is a certain precision, proportionality and balance in the universe that are in exactly the way they should be in order for life on Earth as we know it to exist. This is evidence for the fact that in its creation a Supreme Mind was at work. In the structure of the human body itself so much extraordinary wisdom is clearly visible that no material explanation can be adequate to account for it. The many amazing things found in our universe and in our own selves that simply could not have come about on their own are definite evidence for the fact that this world is not some chance accident but, rather, that it has come into being in line with a well-thought out plan, which clearly indicates the existence of a grand Planner behind the world, the One Creator God, a Supreme Mind that is also controlling it. Nothing else can explain the order and meaningfulness of the universe, which modern science has so brilliantly unraveled for us. In recent decades, it has been discovered that intelligent design pervades the entire universe. This is convincing proof of the existence of God. Design indicates a designer and conscious activity on the designer’s part. If the universe is characterized by design, it must be the handiwork of a grand Designer. This Designer can be no one but the Creator, the One God.

In the light of modern scientific findings, it can be said that the progress of human knowledge is advancing towards the acknowledgment of God. The research findings about the physical world that have emerged in recent times are leading man towards a metaphysical destination. In every field of scientific knowledge, when researchers move ahead in their search, they finally arrive at such a place where it appears that the limits of physical laws have been reached and that for the true understanding of things, there is no choice but to recognize the role of the metaphysical.

It can thus be said that belief in the existence of God is not some mysterious belief that has no scientific basis. Rather, it is a conviction that has ample empirical evidence to support it.
