As can be seen from above, where the English article says that galaxies are distributed according to a pattern, the Mandarin version says that the distribution of galaxies in space is \u201cj\u01d0ngj\u01d0ng\u2010y\u01d2u\u2010ti\u00e1o<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t((j\u01d0ng\u00b7j\u01d0ng\n\t\t\torderly \u00b7 orderly \u2192 [methodical]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u4e95\u4e95)\u2010(y\u01d2u\n\t\t\thaving<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u6709)\u2010(ti\u00e1o\n\t\t\tstrips \u2192 [orderliness]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u6761\n\t\t\t\u689d<\/span>)\n\t\t\t\u2192<\/span> [methodical]<\/span>)<\/span>\u201d.<\/i> Yes, here is yet another Mandarin expression that we can use to express that the universe is highly organized.<\/p>\n

Whether or not dark matter really exists or there is some other explanation for the effects currently attributed by many to dark matter, the bottom line is that with all the forces, phenomena, natural laws, etc. at play, the galaxies, etc. in the universe are not randomly and chaotically distributed, but rather, are very methodically ordered and arranged. This testifies to the existence of \u201csome organizing principle<\/a>\u201d, as one influential astronomer quoted in the above-mentioned article put it, or God, as the Bible puts it.\u2014Genesis 1:1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA\u2026Pattern\u201d<\/h4>\n

Many in the world are scouring the heavens looking for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, for example, as part of the SETI<\/a> initiative. Well, as the Awake!<\/i> issue mentioned above shows, and as the Bible says at Psalm 19:1<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nThe heavens are declaring the glory of God;
\nThe skies above proclaim the work of his hands.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The truth is that the universe if full of patterns, like the orderly distribution of the galaxies, that are far from random, and that realistically could only have come from God, who technically qualifies as an Extraterrestrial (outside the earth) Superintelligence (an intelligence beyond that of humans). Unfortunately, Satan\u2019s world has brainwashed even highly intelligent scientists with preconceived ideas and prejudices that make them just reflexively filter out and dismiss patterns that are right in front of them, but that are \u201cnatural\u201d!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
