Cosmologists and physicists have likewise taken a hard look at the world and the universe and have come up with some astonishing facts. For example, they now know that if there had been even an infinitesimal change in the value of any of the universal constants, the universe would be lifeless.a Cosmologist Brandon Carter called these facts astonishing coincidences. But if you came across a series of mysterious, interconnected coincidences, would you not at least be suspicious that somebody was behind them?

Indeed, there is a Designer behind all these complex systems and finely tuned “coincidences.” Who? “Identifying the designer by scientific methods might be extremely difficult,” admits Professor Behe, and he leaves the question to “philosophy and theology” to try to answer. You personally may feel that the question is irrelevant to you. However, if you received a nicely wrapped package filled with exactly what you needed, would you not want to find out who sent it to you?
