This document provides an overview of our solar system and its design. It notes how life would not be possible without key features such as the sun, its distance from Earth, its provision of heat and light, and the orbits of planets. Each planet is briefly described. It emphasizes how the solar system operates according to precise laws and principles, and poses rhetorical questions about what would happen if these features were altered. The document suggests the solar system is an intelligent design that provides evidence of a Creator. It previews upcoming parts of a longer work on how our place in the cosmos appears designed for discovery of God.

4. Since the earliest days of human
history, people have struggled
with the big questions of life. Why
are we here? Where are we
going? What happens when we
die? Why is there so much evil
and suffering in the world?

5. Come along on a journey of
discovery, a journey to seek out
the wonders around us, to learn
what ties those amazing things
together. Come and discover not
only life that we may have never
imagined, but even more
remarkable, a love that is beyond
imagination.

Solution...

I provide light but I’m not a candle

I rise in the morning but I’m not someone getting out of bed

to search for the answers.
• Our picture of the universe has changed
dramatically since the time of Galileo. Before, we
understand that the universe had no beginning
but now we know it has a beginning. Humans
have always been fascinated by what is “out
there”. And it has led them to ask big questions
about our own existence.
