In the last chapter we reviewed what the inquiring man, using only his limited senses and instruments, was able to unravel regarding his creation and the creation of the universe. One thing that is common with this limited approach is the need to keep changing the facts in view of new observations. For how long will this go on? There was a time when the great Sir Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727) reasoned that the speed generated by a moving object was unlimited as long as sufficient acceleration was applied. This was held sacrosanct until Albert Einstein disproved this with his special theory of relativity. He broke new grounds in science. Thanks to Einstein, we now know that nothing with a mass in our immediate universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum - some 186,000 miles per second! As this speed is being approached length contracts and mass of the object becomes incredibly big, approaching infinity and time ‘dilates’ too! The truth is, relative to the wisdom of God who is omniscient, what man knows, Einstein or no Einstein, is still less than a drop in the ocean. It is written in Isaiah 55: 8-9 - “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways , “ declares the Lord . “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. …”

About the Book
When we buy a new piece of equipment, we flick through the manual to understand its operations and learn more about the manufacturer. In a similar manner, humans are like a machine that has been fashioned by a master designer—God. We were thus created, we have an origin, and God has a purpose and a destiny for our existence. In Ten Facts Regarding Why Man Is on This Planet, author Dele Babalola shares a road map that can help Christian believers decipher the meaning and purpose of human existence. Because science can only explain the world incompletely or in fits and starts, it is important to turn to the eternal truths contained in the Bible—God’s inspired words to his human creation on the earth, and the true manual for understanding why we are here. With this foundation, Dr. Babalola outlines the fundamental knowledge we need to make our way through life, sharing the ten most important facts about our humanity and salvation. There is purpose and destiny in life. There is God, the Creator; there is the Bible, our manual for life; and there is Jesus, God-in-person, who lived among us in this world to die for our sins and reconnect us to God the Father. By studying these manuals for life and by learning more about our Creator, we will surely discover our true purposes.
