sun. Another group of drops form the image of the Earth, while another
forms the moon. If you ever saw such a picture, would you think that an
explosion in a bowl of paint had accidentally formed this picture?
Nobody would think that possible.
As the story of the paint drops shows, matter came together and
formed the perfect picture we see when we look up in the sky, in other
words, stars, the sun and planets. But could all these things have
happened by themselves?
How could the stars in the sky, the planets, the sun, moon, and earth
ever have come into existence as a result of atoms falling together by
chance after an explosion? How about your mother, father, friends or
birds, cats, bananas or strawberries…? Of course, this is most unlikely to
have happened. Such an idea is as nonsensical as claiming that a house

The paints in a bowl scatter around as the result of an explosion. Could
the paint droplets randomly scattered around spontaneously come
together and form the picture we see in outer space? The spontaneous
formation of this picture is definitely impossible. Advocating the theory
that the universe came into existence by accident is more irrational than
suggesting the spontaneous formation of the picture.
