                       There is a crucial balance between the density of the universe
                       and the speed at which it is expanding.


                      What, then, does such a remarkable equilibrium indicate?

                 Obviously this instance of “fine-tuning” cannot possibly be ex-
                 plained by chance; it must prove an intelligent design. Despite
                 being a materialist, Paul Davies concedes:
                      It is hard to resist that the present structure of the universe, ap-
                      parently so sensitive to minor alterations in the numbers, has
                      been rather carefully thought out… The seemingly miraculous
                      concurrence of numerical values that nature has assigned to her
                      fundamental constants must remain the most compelling evi-
                      dence for an element of cosmic design.  11

                      As we have seen, this conclusive data obtained by scientific
                 means, led materialist Paul Davies to concede—whether he
                 liked it or not—that the universe is the product of intelligent de-
                 sign. Or, in other words, that the universe was created.
