Harvard Scientist Says God Exists and There’s a Mathematical Proof

A Harvard astrophysicist, Dr. Willie Soon, claims that a mathematical formula provides evidence for God’s existence.
Speaking on the Tucker Carlson Network, Dr. Soon referenced the “fine-tuning argument,” which suggests the universe’s physical laws are precisely calibrated for life, making it unlikely this occurred by chance.
He highlighted the asymmetry between matter and antimatter as evidence of intentional design. After the Big Bang, matter and antimatter formed together, but the universe now has far less antimatter.
If they were equal, they would annihilate each other, leaving nothing behind. This imbalance, Dr. Soon argues, points to a designed universe.
Dr Soon said: “There are so many examples of the ever-present forces that allow us to illuminate our lives. God has given us this light, to follow the light and do the best that we can.”
Dr. Soon cited the work of Paul Dirac, the “father of antimatter,” who predicted its existence in 1928 through a groundbreaking equation. Dirac combined Einstein’s E=mc² with Schrödinger’s quantum mechanics equation to explain subatomic particles moving faster than light.
His solution introduced a negatively charged electron, which initially baffled scientists but was later confirmed in 1932 with the discovery of antimatter in cosmic rays. Dirac’s work led to quantum field theory, revolutionizing physics.
In 1963, Dirac described God as “a mathematician of a very high order,” noting the universe’s mathematical elegance.
“It seems to be one of the fundamental features of nature that fundamental physical laws are described in terms of mathematical theory of great beauty and power, needing quite a high standard of mathematics for one to understand it,” he wrote.
“You may wonder: Why is nature constructed along these lines? One can only answer that our present knowledge seems to show that nature is so constructed. We simply have to accept it.
“One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe.”
Other experts, like Richard Swinburne and Robin Collins, have also argued for fine-tuning in the universe. They point to the precise strength of gravity, the proton-to-electron mass ratio, and the cosmological constant as evidence.
If gravity were slightly weaker, galaxies and stars wouldn’t form; if stronger, the universe might collapse into a black hole. Similarly, a different proton-to-electron mass ratio would disrupt chemistry, preventing complex molecules like DNA from forming.
The cosmological constant, which governs the universe’s expansion, must also be finely balanced—too high, and the universe expands too quickly for life; too low, and it collapses too soon.
These examples, according to Dr. Soon, suggest that the universe’s physical laws are not random but appear to be intentionally fine-tuned to support life.
