     There's an interesting premise called Cause/Effect. I'll demonstrate. At the back side of my Condo Unit is a large, proudly-looking tree whose height reaches into the sky. The tree casts a shadow. The shadow is the Effect, the tree is the Cause. Without the Cause there would be no Effect.
 
    I can raise my hand and see a shadow or refection on the wall of my living room. Something or someone naturally generates the reflection. There can be no reflection without the generator—impossible. The generator is the Cause, the image is the Effect.
 
    As none of these Effects are born within themselves or produce themselves without assistance, we conclude that something or someone is responsible for them. We have the producer or creator on one side of the equation and the product or creation on the other side. To think otherwise is to think unrealistically. If we apply this principle to everything in our solar system and beyond, the summation follows that there must be a source or Preeminent Intelligence behind it all. But what or who is it?
 
    And now the atheist, agnostic, and evolutionist enter. One major school of thought among atheists and evolutionists is that the so-called "Big Bang" is responsible for our solar system and beyond. Therefore, Cause and Effect. Assuming the possibility of such, who or what caused the "Big Bang"? Did the Results or Effects of the "Big Bang" have no Cause? To answer negatively is to stretch the mind beyond reality—yes, even beyond Michael Jackson's "Never-Never Land!"
 
    The pronouncements—and suppositions—of "Big Bang" advocates would not fill the smallest of potholes with facts and/or evidence. "Scientific delusions" are not the answer to the genesis of our solar system and beyond. The following points and questions are elementary but factual observations, not encumbered with an array of humanistic rhetoric.

   1] If another source other than a Preeminent Intelligence is responsible for the existence of the universe, such as the "Big Bang" conjecture, why are all planets or heavenly bodies visible to the human eye circular in form, as opposed to rectangular, square, or many-sided? Would not a "Big Bang" have created all shapes?
 
    2] As far as space exploration can determine, "There is only one planet [Earth] where gaseous oxygen and life are found."—Google. Other scientists say only Earth has sufficient oxygen to sustain life. If another source other than a Preeminent Intelligence is responsible for this uniqueness, what or who is it?
 
    3] Then there's the sun. It is approximately 27 million degrees Fahrenheit, almost unimaginable. Its function is unbroken and uninterrupted. This huge ball of fire equips Planet Earth with warmth and other life-sustaining elements, otherwise the Earth would freeze into a solid block of ice overnight.
 
   Who or what manages this ball of fire? Who or what supplies the fuel to keep it ablaze continually, century after century? If left to its own existence, without any form of supernatural management, wide-spread chaos—a calamity beyond realization—would occur. I affirm without hesitation: There is nothing in our solar system and beyond that can or does oversee the sun's function. There is only one clean, concise answer—a Preeminent Intelligence called GOD is in total and absolute control.
