Photos of the Month | January 2021

Okay! Our town looks far different in the winter than in the summertime when visitors grace the peninsula (mostly to fish the salmon season). Realizing that I haven’t tried out the gallery feature of this new block editor yet, it seems a great time to check out Old Town Kenai for distinguished Historic Landmarks.

Right in the center of town – Old Town Kenai, that is – we find (1894) Holy Assumption Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church, and across the street proudly sits

complete with recently restored roof

May our Heavenly Father bless and keep you safe this January. Pray always for His guidance over those in authority over us, and thank you for visiting Importantstuff.Live!

Importantstuff | The Anthropic Principle

cropped-canstockphoto4365858cropped.jpg

According to The Anthropic Principle, the universe appears to be designed for mankind.  It is designed and fine-tuned so that if anything changes, it all falls apart.

WOW!  The anthropic principle and the structure of the physical world  was an amazing Harvard paper published in 1979 that sparked continuing debate on whether The Anthropic Principle proves God’s existence.

There are four cosmic forces (at least) at work in our universe.

  1. Gravity
  2. Electromagnetic
  3. Strong Nuclear Force
  4. Weak Nuclear Force

I am not pretending that I understand this scientific stuff, but you can research how The Anthropic Principle collides with the Copernican Principle and Plank’s Constant at the link Basically, it can be argued that any slight change in one of these forces and our universe would disintegrate.  That means that at the atomic and sub-atomic levels life as we know it is impossible – if minute tolerances are not maintained.

Maintained how?  Is this all random?  Praise God Almighty, IT’S NOT!  I don’t know about you, but it’s a great comfort to believe “He’s got the whole world in His hands”.

So there it is; The Anthropic Principle.  If you are still reading this, please know that God not only created the universe, but He holds it together for US – very importantstuff; another big reason to trust Almighty God for our very existence.

1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 4“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me if you have understanding…

31Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the belt of Orion? 32Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs? 33Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?”  ~ Job 38:1, 4, 6, 31-33 NKJV

Praise

Thank You, LORD! I trust Your power to not only create our universe but to also hold it together for our benefit and Your Glory.
