The Universe

When viewed from Earth, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky.

On a clear night in the Northern Hemisphere the naked eye can discern some 5,000 stars.

The Sun produces more energy every minute than all the energy used on Earth in a whole year.

Only 55% of all Americans know that the sun is a star.

The temperature on the Moon reaches 243 degrees Fahrenheit at midday on the lunar equator. During the night, the temperature falls to -261 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sir Fred Hoyle On Intelligent Design

As biochemists discover more and more about the awesome complexity of life, it is apparent that its chances of originating by accident are so minute that they can be completely ruled out. Life cannot have arisen by chance.
~ Sir Fred Hoyle, in The Intelligent Universe

A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from th facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question…. Rather than accept the fantastically small probability of life having arisen through the blind forces of nature, it seemed better to suppose that the origin of life was a deliberate intellectual act.
~ Sir Fred Hoyle
