| Though these bodies may indeed continue in their
orbits by the mere laws of gravity, yet they could by no means have at

laws. Thus, this most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets,
could only proceed from the council and dominion of an intelligent and
powerful Being.

Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God; |

Philosophically the notion of a
beginning of the present order is repugnant to me. I should like to find
a genuine loophole. I simply do not believe the present order of things
started off with a bang...the expanding Universe is preposterous... it
leaves me cold.![]() Sir Arthur Eddington |

An infinitely old universe would relieve us of the necessity of understanding the origin of matter at any finite time in the past. Robert Dicke, Princeton 1965 |
