Physical Sciences
The study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces reveals a cosmos of extraordinary mathematical elegance and precise calibration.
Key Themes
The physical sciences contribute several key lines of evidence to the case for theism:
- Fine-tuning: of fundamental constants within extraordinarily narrow life-permitting ranges
- Mathematical elegance: of physical laws, suggesting a rational Mind behind nature
- Cosmic origins: confirming the universe had a beginning
- Quantum phenomena: challenging naive materialism and opening space for mind and purpose
Astronomy & Cosmology
The study of the cosmos reveals an absolute beginning, remarkable fine-tuning, and a universe that appears designed not only for life but for discovery—as if we were meant to understand.
Chemistry
The science of matter's composition and transformation reveals a cosmos whose fundamental constituents are exquisitely suited for complex life—a convergence of properties demanding explanation.
Earth Sciences
Geology, oceanography, and atmospheric science reveal our planet as a finely-tuned system—a convergence of improbable conditions that together enable and sustain complex life.
Physics
The fundamental science reveals a cosmos governed by elegant mathematical laws and calibrated with extraordinary precision—pointing toward a rational, purposive ground of being.
