I shown not have to post this, but to clarify,I do not post these as signifying concurrence with the web site or all the the sources believe, any more than the apostle Paul was in quoting a truth from a pagan poet, but these serve to provide substance for at least a First Cause, against the premise behind the the faith of atheists.

Which is that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered, intricate universe, exquisitely finely tuned for corporeal earthly life with its extensive diversity and astounding complexity *, came to be by known (or potentially known), purely natural demonstrable powers, as if it was Divine, without any supreme supernatural intelligence behind the creation, organization and programming. of this universe.

They are Michael Behe, John Lennox, and Steven Meyer.
