God and Cosmology

The Sun Sets, and the Sun Rises.
By DaySounds, 2025

The sun sets, and the sun rises--
Just an optical illusion
Of a large reality reflection;

Whose accurate design,
And precise numbers,
To the universe aligned,
Point to their Awesome
Maker.

The God who gave
And gives us life,
Who loves us
In a personal way,
With a much greater love
Than what we ever
Knew, dreamed of,
Or hope for.

Who forgives our trespasses,
When we, repented,
Turn to Him in love;
Who gives us a new start
When we thought
Everything and everyone
Had turned on us
Their back.

When the sun has set
In our lives,
And we are lost, hopeless,
Thirsty, hungry, cold,
In the foggy darkness,
A faint glow appears
In the horizon, far off;
Then, yellow, red,
Orange, blue colors
Fill the sky;
It is a new day!

The sun rises ...
Among the bushes,
We see
What we had missed
Before:
The narrow trail
That leads to our
Home, Sweet Home!

El Ocaso y la Aurora.
De DaySounds, 2025

Se pone y sale el sol
Tan sólo una ilusión óptica,
Reflejo de una gran realidad;
Cuyos preciso diseño
Y números exactos,
Al universo alineados
Señalan a su Hacedor.

El Dios que nos dio
Y da vida,
Quien nos ama
De una manera personal,
Con un amor mucho mayor
Que lo que nunca supimos,
Soñamos, o esperamos encontrar.

Quien perdona nuestras ofensas
Cuando, arrepentidos,
Volvemos a Él con amor y sinceridad,
Quien,
Cuando pensábamos
Que todo y todos
Nos habían olvidado
Y dado la espalda,
Nos ofrece un nuevo comenzar.

Cuando el sol se ha puesto
En nuestras vidas,
Y nos encontramos perdidos,
Sin esperanza, sedientos,
Hambrientos, con un frío intenso,
En la brumosa obscuridad,
Un tenue resplandor aparece
En el horizonte lejano.
Poco a poco,
Los colores rojo,
Azul, naranja, amarillo
Llenan el cielo
¡Es un día nuevo!

Por fin, sale el sol ...
Entre los arbustos vemos
Lo que antes se nos escapó:
La senda estrecha
Que nos dirige a Casa
--¡Hogar, dulce Hogar!--
Con nuestro Padre Dios.

"Through time, as we unlock more of the secrets of the cosmos,
men and women will be even more awed about how exquisitely
designed the universe is." (Hugh Norman Ross, astrophysicist,
sent by the National Research Council of Canada to Caltech,
as a postdoctoral research fellow, to study quasars and galaxies
from 1973 to 1978.)

"A remarkable fact about our universe is that physical constants
have just the right values needed to allow for complex structures,
including living things." (George Francis Rayner Ellis, cosmologist
and mathematician, co-author with Stephen Hawking of The Large
Scale Structure of Space-Time)

"In the last few years astronomy has come together so that we're
now able to tell a coherent story of how the universe began. This
story does not contradict God, but instead enlarges the idea of God."
(Joel Primack, astrophysicist, professor of Physics and Astrophysics
at the University of California)

"The human genome consists of all the DNA of our species, the
hereditary code of life. This newly revealed text was 3 billion
letters long, and written in a strange and cryptographic four-letter
code. Such is the amazing complexity of the information carried
within each cell of the human body, that a live reading of that
code at a rate of one letter per second would take thirty-one years,
even if reading continued day and night." (Francis Collins,
biologist, current director of the National Institutes of Health,
and former director of the USA National Human Genome Research
Institute)

"By definition, time is that dimension in which cause and effect
phenomena take place. If time's beginning is concurrent with the
beginning of the universe, as the space-time theorem says, then the
cause of the universe must be some entity operating in a time
dimension completely independent of and pre-existent to the time
dimension of the cosmos. This conclusion is powerfully important to
our understanding of who God is and who or what God is not. It
tells us that the creator is transcendent, operating beyond the
dimensional limits of the universe. It tells us that God is not the
universe itself, nor is God contained within the universe."
(Hugh Ross, an astrophysicist turned generalist)

"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created
out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance needed to provide
exactly the conditions required to permit life, and one which has
an underlying--one might say 'supernatural'--plan.
(Arno Penzias, physicist and radio astronomer, Nobel prize in physics)

"The laws of physics seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly
ingenious design ... There is for me powerful evidence that there is
something going on behind it all ... It seems as though somebody has
fine-tuned nature's numbers to make the Universe ... The impression
of design is overwhelming." (Paul Davies, physicist, Templeton Prize
recipient)

"I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There
has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is
the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something
instead of nothing." (Allan Sandage, cosmologist, winner of the
Crawford Prize in Astronomy. His research led him to become a
Christian at the age of 50.)

"God has given us more than 14 billion cells and connections in our
brain." (Ben Carson, neurosurgeon)

If everything were physical, how about the timeless, universal, inter-
cultural concepts of truth, goodness, and love? Where do they come from?
God.
