Fine-Tuning of Physical Constants:Many scientists and theologians note that the physical constants of the universe, such as the gravitational constant or the fine-structure constant, appear to be finely tuned to support life.
The Big Bang Theory and the Origin of the Universe:The Big Bang theory describes the universe's origin as a singular event from which everything expanded.
The Anthropic Principle:The Anthropic Principle suggests that the universe's laws are structured in a way that allows human life to exist.
Order and Complexity in Nature:The complexity and order observed in biological systems, such as the intricate design of DNA, has led some to conclude that such complexity is unlikely to have arisen purely by chance.
The Laws of Nature as Evidence of a Lawgiver:The consistency and predictability of natural laws—such as the law of gravity or thermodynamics—suggest that the universe operates according to an orderly framework.
The "First Cause" Argument:Philosophical arguments, like the cosmological argument, propose that everything in the universe must have a cause.
The Compatibility of Science and Faith:Some scientists, like Francis Collins, suggest that scientific discoveries about the universe’s origins can coexist with belief in God.
