THE INCREDIBLE ORDER THAT CAME WITH
THE EXPLOSION
The whole scientific community acknowledges that the uni-
verse we live in began approximately 15 billion years ago with a
huge explosion popularly called “the Big Bang” and expanded
to take on its present state and dimensions. Space, galaxies,
planets, the Sun, the Earth—in short, everything that combines

to make up the universe was formed as a consequence.
Here lies a great secret: Since the Big Bang was an explosion,
matter would be expected to have scattered itself randomly
across space, as atoms or sub-atomic particles. But not so; on the
contrary, the universe in all its incredible order emerged instead.
“Randomly” scattered atoms concentrated in certain places and

bonded to form stars, solar systems and galaxies—certainly an
extraordinary situation. And to use an analogy used by scientist,
even more extraordinary than a hand grenade thrown into a
wheat field with the result that the effect of the blast collects the
cut wheat, ties it into uniform bales, and piles up the bales in an

orderly fashion.
Professor Fred Hoyle, who opposed the Big Bang theory for
many years, expressed his wonder as follows:
The big bang theory holds that the universe began with a single
explosion. Yet, . . . an explosion merely throws matter apart, while
the big bang has mysteriously produced the opposite effect—
with matter clumping together in the form of galaxies. 5

Obviously, such an explosion that contained the whole of
the universe’s mass, from which the most spectacular order
emerged, can only be explained by a miracle. Astrophysicist
