Astronomers hailed the finding as an achievement of historic proportions, opening the door to a new way of observing the universe.  “Until this moment, we had our eyes on the sky and we couldn’t hear the music,” said a Columbia University astrophysicist, a member of the discovery team.  “It’s really comparable only to Galileo taking up the telescope and looking at the planets,” said a Penn State physics theorist.

Gravitational waves, first postulated by Einstein as part of his theory of general relativity, are extraordinarily faint ripples in space-time (Memphis Commercial Appeal, 2/12/2016).  It was on November 25, 1915, that Einstein announced to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin that “the general theory of relativity is now complete” (Smithsonian magazine, 10/2015, p. 21).

From where did the design in the universe originate?  Is there an original composer who directs the “music” of the universe?

Albert Einstein has said:

“In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God.  But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views.”

“My comprehension of God comes from the deeply felt conviction of a superior intelligence that reveals itself in the knowable world.”

“My religiosity consists of a humble admiration of the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we can comprehend about the knowable world.”

Einstein, one “seriously involved in the pursuit of science,” became convinced “that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe – a spirit vastly superior to that of man.”

The eminent scientist recognized that the universe reflects an intelligence behind it.  Though his concept of God may sound more pantheistic than personal, he nonetheless described God as both spirit and superintelligence (Boone and Cooper, Questions about God, 2009, pages 48-49).

Still another quote from Einstein: “Then there are the fanatical atheists…  They are creatures who can’t hear the music of the spheres.”

Can YOU hear the music?

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork” (Psalm 19:1 ESV).

The Creator of the world is also the Heavenly Father.

The Heavenly Father wants YOU to be His child.  Sin separates us from Him, but God loves us so much that He gave His one and only Son to die on the cross for our sins (John 3:16) so that we might have forgiveness (Ephesians 1:7), be added to His family (Acts 2:41,47), and receive the gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23).

The Father will save those who place their faith and trust in His Son (Acts 16:30-31), turn from their sins in repentance (Acts 17:30-31), confess Jesus before men (Romans 10:9-10), and are baptized (immersed) into Christ for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38).  He will continue to cleanse those who continue to walk in the light of His Word (1 John 1:7).

“Listen” to the music of an intricately designed universe.  “Hear” the call of the Creator as He invites us to relationship and eternal life through His Son.
