It Couldn’t Have
Just Happened
1
Without the Bible
You can
believe in a
Creator
2
ROMANS 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even
his eternal power and Godhead; so that they
are without excuse:

It couldn’t have just happened !
The universe and its origin
How big is our universe?
Earth from sun 93 Million miles
Nearest Star 24,000,000,000,000 miles
How many stars in our Galaxy?
100 Billion
How many Galaxies?
100 Billion
5
It couldn’t have just happened !
How big is our universe?
Draw two circles 9 inches apart
Each inch equals 10 million miles
That’s the distance to our Sun
How far is the nearest star?
40 miles away from our circle
5280 Feet per mile = 53,360 Inches
40 Miles = 2,534,400 Inches
Each Inch = 10 Million Miles
6
It couldn’t have just happened !
How big is our universe?
If you ran 1 mile every four minutes
It would take 700 years to reach sun
182 million yrs to reach the closes star
7
It couldn’t have just happened !
How big is our universe?
What is a light year?
Distance light travels in one year
How fast does light travel
186 thousand miles per second
8 times around the earth in one second
8
It couldn’t have just happened !
How big is our universe?
Sun is 8 light minutes away from earth
17 million light years from furthest star
We have a very large universe
It couldn’t have just happened !
9
It couldn’t have just happened !
Did our universe have a beginning?
Some say over 13.7 billion years ago
It all started with a big bang
Christians say about 6000 years ago
It all started when God said
“Let there be..”
Genesis 1
God made everything in 6 days
10
It couldn’t have just happened !
The big bang would create “Chaos”
But the universe is a “Cosmos”
An orderly universe
Order just does not happen
Order comes from a Creator
11
It couldn’t have just happened !
Our Earth
12
It couldn’t have just happened !
Our Earth
It couldn’t have just happened !
Our Earth is Exactly
13
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right distance from Sun
Exactly the right elliptical rotation around sun
Exactly the right size
Exactly the right atmosphere
Exactly the right amount of land and sea
Exactly the right amount of gravity
Exactly the right angle
14
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right rotation
Exactly the right oval shape
Exactly the right moon
Exactly the right amount of sun rays
Exactly the right vegetation
Exactly the right ozone
Exactly just right
15
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right distance from the sun
93 million miles from the sun
Closer - burn up
Farther- freeze
Third Planet from the sun
and the 5th largest
16
It couldn’t have just happened !
17
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right elliptical rotation
around sun at 18.5 miles per second
that’s about 67,000 miles per hour
Every 18.5 miles
The earth moves 1/9th of an inch
If moved 1/10th of an inch
We would burn up
If moved 1/8th of an inch
We would freeze
18
It couldn’t have just happened !
19
It couldn’t have just happened !
From our previous class
What makes our Year?
Earths rotation around the sun
What makes our month?
Moons rotation around the earth
What makes our day?
Earths rotation on its axis
20
It couldn’t have just happened !
NOW
What makes our Week?
Exodus 20:11
21
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exodus 20:11
For in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the
seventh day: wherefore the Lord
blessed the sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
22
It couldn’t have just happened !
Only from the Bible
Do we get our Week
23
It couldn’t have just happened !
Earth revolves around the sun
Once each year
365 days - 5 hrs - 48 min - 45.51 sec
Earths rotation is determined so
accurately that a variation of a second
in a century would upset astronomical
calculations
24
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right size
If the earth was just a little larger
Rotation of the earth would be longer
Days would be longer
Nights would be longer
Our vegetation would not grow
The opposite is also true
25
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right atmosphere
26
It couldn’t have just happened !
 Earths
atmosphere ranges from
125 degrees to 136 degrees
 Any
real difference and we would
freeze or burn up.
27
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right amount of land and sea
28
It couldn’t have just happened !
 70
% of earths surface is water
30 % of earths surface is land
 Scientist say that is just right
29
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right amount of gravity
30
It couldn’t have just happened !
Our space crafts must be able to
travel 7 miles per second to leave
the earths gravity
 Without gravity we would not be able
to walk on the earth
 Our gravity is just right

31
It couldn’t have just happened !
32
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right angle
Earth is at a 23.5 degree angle
Did you know?
Earth is closer to the sun in summer
Further away in the winter
Angle is necessary for seasons
33
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right rotation
Earth rotates at 1000 miles per hour
24 thousand miles around at equator
One day per rotation - 24 hours
34
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right shape
35
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right oval shape
Did you know?
The earth is not round
Diameter at equator is smaller
Diameter North & South poles greater
If the diameter was the same
Water would all be at the equator
36
It couldn’t have just happened !
At the equator the earth’s diameter is
7,899 miles
 The polar diameter is only 7,926 miles
 This is very important because if the
earth was the same diameter, all the
water on the earth would be at the
center of the earth

37
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right Moon
38
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right Moon
Without the moon, earth would not have
Tides
Without tides, the earth would not have
Sea living creatures
Without tides, the earth would not have
The rain cycle
Without the rain cycle no
life on earth
39
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right amount of Sun rays
Sun sends out invisible winds
These winds have protons and electrons
The earth great magnet pushes them back
JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SUN
40
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right vegetation
Just think if the vegetation was bad
We would have no fruits and vegetables
Our very health depends on exactly
The right vegetation
41
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly the right amount of ozone
Why doesn’t the sun’s radiation burn us?
Earth has a layer of atmosphere
It’s call “Mesosphere”
It’s about 12 to 18 miles above earth
There is a form of Oxygen known as
OZONE
42
It couldn’t have just happened !
Ozone's filter out ultraviolet rays
These rays are very harmful to humans
Our OZONE is just right
Our atmosphere is
77% Nitrogen – 21% Oxygen
That’s JUST RIGHT
43
It couldn’t have just happened !
Did you know?
No other planet
has any of these attributes
44
It couldn’t have just happened !
Exactly Just Right
How did that just happen?
45
It couldn’t have just happened !
From a simple seed
46
“You have to do your own growing no matter how
tall your grandfather was.” Abraham Lincoln
47
It couldn’t have just happened !
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are
without excuse:
48
It couldn’t have just happened !
So they are without
excuse
49
It couldn’t have just
happened !
50
It couldn’t have just happened !
Where there is design there
must be a
Designer
51
SO
What have we learned ?
52
I Believe in God - Because
53
I Believe in God - Because
And God Said
Let there be
54
I Believe in God - Because
Job was asked – Were you there?
GOD
Who knew to ask these
Questions?
55
I Believe in God - Because
The Human Body
Was Fearfully and Wonderfully made
Where there is Design
There is a designer
56
I Believe in God - Because
The earth is exactly right
Exactly the right rotation
Exactly the right oval shape
Exactly the right moon
Exactly the right amount of sun rays
Exactly the right vegetation
Exactly the right ozone
57
WITHOUT THE BIBLE
You can believe in a
Creator
58
And that Creator
is the
God of the Bible
