human life is a miracle in its own right, not to mention the mil-
lions of factors that must combine to make this chain of miracles
possible. On the other hand, a miracle is self-evidently created
by God. Every bit of the universe is a miracle, the unequalled
work of God’s wisdom, might, and artistry.
Recent calculations demonstrate that if the current physical
laws and reactions responsible for the order in the universe were
altered even slightly, life—and therefore, human life—would not
be possible. In terms of probability, these physical norms could
have had arisen with any given value. But each one of them is
set independently at its current ideal value, enabling human life
which, as stated above, cannot be described with any other word
but miracle.
Whichever law, principle or physical property in the uni-
verse we consider, we see that it could not have been brought to
its current ideal state by itself, or through coincidence. Eyes that
can see are a clear miracle. Chains of miracles are at work in
every location of the universe and in every single one of its gov-
erning laws; these chains of miracles are proof for God’s exis-
tence and His might.
In recent years, cosmologists and theoretical physicists
began to call this mind-blowing order that spawns necessary
conditions for human life “fine-tuning.” Concentrating on this
subject, they discovered or calculated countless examples of
“fine-tuning” throughout the universe. It’s appropriate here to
quote some of these scientists’ expressions of astonishment and
wonder over the results of their research:
NASA astronomer Professor John O’Keefe: "We are, by as-
tronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of
