s no known exception. The universe is admittedly a known effect. [Note Dr. Robert Jastrow's statement in his book, `Until The Sun Dies': "The Universe and everything that has happened in it since the beginning of time, are a grand effect `without a known cause'." . The question is: `What is the adequate cause?' The atheist/agnostic has no answer, as Dr. Jastrow has so well explained. The Christian, of course, does. `God is the First Cause', and has left the evidences of His existence so evident that they are incontrovertible. NATURE'S HUMAN INHABITANT: MAN "Men go abroad to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering." So stated Augustine many years ago. So many people fail to see one of the most powerful arguments possible for God's existence--their own selves! Consider, for example, the "earthly tabernacle" (II Corinthians 5:1) that we call the human body. It is comp osed of 30+ different kinds of cells, totalling over `100 trillion' cells when all added together to make up the human adult.. These cells come in all different sizes and shapes, with different functions and life expectancies. For example, some cells (e.g., male spermatozoa) are so small that 20,000 would fit inside a capital "O" from a standard typewriter, each being only 1/20th mm long. Some cells, put end-to-end, would make only one inch if 6,000 were assembled together. Yet all the cells of the human body, if set end- to-end, would encircle the earth over 200 times. Even the largest cell of the human body, the female ovum, is unbelievably small, being only 1/1OOth of an inch in diameter. Yet each cell is composed of a lipo- protein membrane lining (lipids/proteins/lipids) which is approximately 6/100-8/100 fm (4 atoms) thick. Yet it allows selective transport outside the cell of those things that o...
