No One Made It! Sir Isaac Newton was in his office one day when he received a knock at his door. He opened it to find a good friend of the scientific community who happened to be on the opposite side of the beginning of the universe controversy. As his friend entered the room his eyes were drawn to a large table on which sat a scale model of the universe. It was exquisitely detailed—painted even down to the circles on Saturn. It was mechanical—a handle caused the planets to rotate around the sun. This mov ing replica was an amazing sight “My, what a wonderful thing this is!” he exclaimed. “This is the most extraordinary thing that I have seen! What genius put this together? I would really like to shake his hand.” “No one made it,” Newton reasoned. His friend retorted, “You must think I am a fool... Some very wise and talented person made this!” Newton’s reply is still a wise answer to the current controversy. “This thing is but a puny imitation of a much greater system whose laws you and I know, and I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer and maker. Yet you profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker. Now tell me, by what sort of reasoning do you reach such incongruous conclusion?” —Mike Johnson
