Dear Debashish

Please go through Einstein's Theory of Relativity which has opened up the closed eyes of many atheists. But we must know many scientists have propounded many theories. Some of them have been established as facts, some NOT. Stephen Hawking's propounded Big Bang theory which has now been established as fact. (bestseller in A Brief History of Time). The glorious Qur'an has mentioned about it 1400 years back. "Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?" 21:30. In other verses, it is said, "The universe is expanding." 

Here are some of the questions cosmology seeks to answer that I copied from astrophysicist Hugh Ross' excellent books The Fingerprint of God and The Creator and the Cosmos.:

   1. Is the universe finite or infinite in extent and content?
   2. Is it eternal or does it have a beginning?
   3. Was it created? If not, how did it get here? If so, how was this creation accomplished and what can we learn about the agent and events of creation?
   4. Who or what governs the laws and constants of physics? Are such laws the product of chance or have they been designed? How do they relate to the support and development of life?
   5. Is there any knowable existence beyond the known dimensions of the universe?
   6. Is the universe running down irreversibly or will it bounce back?

Let me begin with five traditional arguments for the existence of God. The answers r as follows:

   1. The cosmological argument: the effect of the universe's existence must have a suitable cause.
   2. The teleological argument: the design of the universe implies a purpose or direction behind it.
   3. The rational argument: the operation of the universe, according to order and natural law, implies a mind behind it.
   4. The ontological argument: man's ideas of God (his God-consciousness) implies a God who imprinted such a consciousness.
   5. The moral argument: man's built-in sense of right and wrong can be accounted for only by an innate awareness of a code of law--an awareness implanted by a higher being.

Robert Shapiro, a professor of chemistry at New York University and a DNA expert, calculated the probability of the coincidental formation of the 2000 types of proteins found in a single bacterium (There are 200,000 different types of proteins in a human cell). The number that was found was 1 over 1040000.110 (This is an incredible number obtained by putting 40,000 zeros after the 1)

A professor of applied mathematics and astronomy from University College Cardiff, Wales, Chandra Wickramasinghe, comments:

The likelihood of the spontaneous formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 noughts after it... It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence. page no 111

If we attempt to calculate the probability of an average-sized protein composed of 400 amino acids being selected only from left-handed amino acids, we come up with a probability of 1 out of 2400, that is 10120. Just for a comparison, let us remember that the number of electrons in the universe is estimated at 1079, which is much smaller than this number. The probability of these amino acids forming the required sequence and functional form would generate much larger numbers. If we adjoin these probabilities and if we expand the subject to the formation of a higher number and type of proteins, the calculations become inconceivable.

And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like it and call on your witnesses besides Allah if you are truthful. 2:23

Do they (unbelievers) say: Muhammad(sm) has forged Qur'an? Say: Then bring a chapter like this n invite whom you can besides Allah, if you are truthful. 10:38

"Complex protein molecules of living cells cannot be created by mere chance." it's a fact now. No scientist can prove that living cells can be created by inanimate objects or by chance...

Most of the scientists are NOT eliminating GOD, they are eliminating models of GOD. Let's study more and more
