the universe He made?

Outline
Man’s spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no
religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.
A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy

The universe in light
The universe in temperature
The universe in “matter”

Some closing thoughts


The night sky in visible light
The Electromagnetic Spectrum and Atmospheric Transparency
The night sky in radio (just above FM)
The night sky in radio (neutral Hydrogen)
The night sky in microwaves
The night sky in infrared
The night sky in visible light (again)
The night sky in X-rays
The night sky in Gamma-rays
More Gamma Rays
Gamma-ray Bursts
Temperature in the
Universe
Life is only possible in this narrow range
The universe in “matter”



Everything on Earth is made up of protons, neutrons,
and electrons. This is normally referred to as baryonic
matter and composes roughly 3% of all “matter” in the
universe
A little more than 30% of the stuff in the universe is
some form of “dark matter” that we don’t understand
yet
Roughly 65% of the “stuff” of the universe is unlike any
thing we are acquainted with. This “stuff” is usually
referred to as dark energy and is often associated with
Einstein’s cosmological constant.
What about this dark energy?




Acts like anti-gravity so it causes the
acceleration of the universe.
May be constant or may change with time
If strictly constant, the initial value must be finetuned to better than 1 part in 10120
If not strictly constant, must answer the
question “Why is the dark energy scale about
the same as the ‘matter’ scale now?”
God's minimum dimensionality



We live in a 4 dimensional universe that
most likely is part of a 10 dimensional
space.
Since this universe had a transcendent
creator, GOD must exist in at least spacetime dimensions (or their equivalent).
Thus, GOD is far more powerful than we
could ever imagine.
