Harvard scientist reveals formula that he claims 'proves God is real'

Harvard scientist reveals formula that he claims 'proves God is real'

Dr Willie Soon says the answer could lie in math

You don't often associate science with religion, but one Harvard scientist has detailed the mathematical formula that he claims 'proves God is real'.

Professor Stephen Hawking, perhaps one of the most notable scientists out there, made his feelings clear on religion - but there's a fellow scientist that has provided his own evidence for the 'existence' of God.

Dr Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and aerospace engineer, has worked at the Harvard and Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics for a number of years.

And in that time he has notched up plenty of experience, so in terms of science, you'd think he'd know what he is talking about.

Dr Soon appeared on the Tucker Carlson Network recently where he provided 'evidence' that 'proves God is real'.

It's the age-old debate but Dr Soon reckons the answer lies in an unlikely place - math.

In the discussion, the scientist detailed the 'fine-tuning argument', which basically means the universe's conditions and physical laws are the perfect base for life to exist.

The somewhat complicated formula Dr Soon is discussing was originally created by Cambridge University mathematician Paul Dirac, who also became known as the 'father of antimatter'.

Speaking about the theory on Carlson's podcast, Dr Soon said: "There are so many examples of the ever-present forces that allow us to illuminate our lives. God has given us this light, to follow the light and do the best that we can."

While Dirac may have introduced the formula, it was way back in 1963 it was written - so many may well not be aware of its significance.

Dr Soon discussing it recently on a podcast appearance will shed light, but it's good to see what the man himself wrote back in the 1960s.

So, the formula read: "It seems to be one of the fundamental features of nature that fundamental physical laws are described in terms of mathematical theory of great beauty and power, needing quite a high standard of mathematics for one to understand it.

"You may wonder: Why is nature constructed along these lines? One can only answer that our present knowledge seems to show that nature is so constructed. We simply have to accept it.

"One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe."

Essentially, he reckons all of this means the universe must have been made by intentional design, AKA God.
