Gravity - the hand of God.  What we think of as a little feature of our existence on earth is actually the hand of God that has formed all that we live in.  The scientists came to understand that there was a "big bang", a beginning to the universe we know.  They thought eternal time in both directions gave them the time to teach that evolution is the reason everything is here.  But Steven Hawkins and others proved to their dismay that there was a beginning, putting to death the idea of evolution.  A beginning just didn't allow enough time for natural selection to happen even considering natural selection has never shown an increase in DNA necessary to make more advanced creatures.  But since they they gave also found the physical evidence of big bang in the microwave layer.  

The Cosmic Microwave Background is faint microwave radiation that fills the entire universe. It’s essentially the afterglow of the Big Bang — leftover heat from when the universe was very young (about 380,000 years old).

At that time, the universe cooled enough for electrons and protons to combine into neutral hydrogen atoms. This allowed light to travel freely for the first time. That light has been traveling ever since, stretched (redshifted) by the expansion of the universe into the microwave range we can detect today.

They physicists say that everything was uniform shown by the cosmic microwave background and then after that gravity formed the universe into very different organized features like galaxies, planets, etc. Because of gravity a smooth and uniform early universe can develop into the clumpy and varied universe we live in. Gravity is the reason for the order and complexity around us.

There are mysteries about Gravity that is still not understood.

In the 1960s–1970s, Stephen Hawking worked with mathematician Roger Penrose to apply Einstein’s general theory of relativity to the entire universe.

Together, they developed the Penrose–Hawking Singularity Theorems (1970).
🔹 These theorems showed that, under very general conditions, the universe must have begun from an initial singularity — a point where space, time, and the laws of physics break down.
🔹 This gave a solid mathematical foundation for the idea that the Big Bang marked the beginning of time and space, not just a moment within time.

Time started at the Big Bang and not before that.  In the beginning was the Word...

 

 

Why do we not see His beauty and excellence here and now?  Because we are seeing Him through this fallen and imperfect world.  And someday we will see Him fully in perfection. And yet his beauty and excellence shows forth in His people and what they produce to His glory.

 

Something to think about

 Jesus came into this world by a the virgin birth which required a power on high and left it by a resurrection that required the power of the Most High. Singular events.  And in between He did the even more amazing thing by appeasing the wrath of God for His people, who did not deserve it, by having bought them with His blood, resulting in our redemption from an eternity in hell.  Do we realize what we missed experiencing - do we realize we have received the gift of the universe.

He made His invisible attributes visible to us by creating this world.

God made this world.  Why make a world that is not where you live?   He made it a world to show His Glory then He made us.   Everything came out of his Mind and was made for a purpose.  He tells us in Romans 1:20 that in all He made it was telling us about Him, of his eternal power and divine nature which was put into everything he made.  These are the attributes of Him that are invisible to us but now can be seen in all he made.  So first He made the world to make his invisible attributes visible to those He made. (So all are without excuse to know their Maker.)

Second it was a world that was not foreign to Him because He created EVERYTHING in it.  It was His plan.  So it was a world He could and would come into to begin to finish the work - saving His people and then saving the creation from the sin that had entered into it.

God's plan tells us about Him.
