Harvard scientist says God exists and there's a mathematical proof
What's the story
In a recent discussion on the Tucker Carlson Network, Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and aerospace engineer from Harvard University, proposed a mathematical argument for the existence of God.
He suggested that the universe's conditions are so perfectly balanced to support life, it is improbable that such order could occur by chance alone.
This idea is often referred to as the fine-tune argument.
Antimatter evidence
Universe's design supports life, suggests Soon
Dr. Soon argued that the universe was intentionally designed to support life, citing the discovery of antimatter in 1928 as evidence.
He explained that during the Big Bang, both matter and antimatter were created. The existence of more matter than antimatter allowed for life's emergence, as an equal amount would have resulted in their mutual destruction due to opposite charges.
Mathematical insight
Dirac's equation and God's mathematical prowess
Dr. Soon also cited Cambridge professor Paul Dirac, who discovered antimatter before it was scientifically confirmed in 1932.
Dirac was trying to figure out why some particles moved faster than light and combined Einstein's E=mc^2 equation with Schrodinger's quantum mechanics equation.
At first, it didn't work, but after he introduced an additional electron with negative energy, it became straightforward.
"God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe," said Soon.
Additional perspectives
Other scientists support fine-tune argument
The fine-tune argument has also been supported by other scientists like Richard Swinburne and Robin Collins.
They argue that the exact conditions of various elements in the universe indicate a higher power at work.
For example, they point out that if gravity was slightly weaker or stronger, galaxies, stars, and planets would not have formed or the universe would have collapsed into a black hole.
