Since When Do Explosions Create Order (from my new book “After You Die” releases 9-4-12)
If you throw a stick of dynamite in a house, the house is not going to blow up and have all the pieces fall down in a sequence. They’re not going to fall in specific “size” order. You’re not going to see all the red things fall in one spot, all the blue things fall in another spot and all the green things in another spot. They’re going to be chaotically mixed up. We all know this instinctively. When I see the mess my son has made of his room each week, I may say, “it looks like a bomb went off in here!” (Parents, you know what I mean!) We say this because we know that explosions create great disorder. They scatter things about, in completely random ways.
And so does nature. How about Hurricane Katrina… was any order created there? How about the World Trade Center strikes… any order created? How about the tsunamis in Indonesia and Japan… order, anyone? Yet atheism would have us believe that we all got our start from a big, giant explosion!!
Fred Hoyle was the physicist who coined the phrase, “The Big Bang” (though he actually disagreed with the theory). When researching the phenomenally precise and detailed requirements for the formation of life, he concluded, “a common sense interpretation of the facts suggest a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with the chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question” (quoted from page 51 of my new book, “After You Die”).
Do you think the incredible sophistication and order of our planet could arise from a random explosion?

To answer your question.
No to a random explosion.
But yes to an organized planned explosion.
Consider this verse ~
Luke 18:27
Jesus replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
People can’t create order from an explosion.
God can.
Example,
hydrogen gas is two hydrogen atoms adhered to each other.
Oxygen gas is two oxygen atoms adhered to each other.
If you make an explosion with hydrogen and oxygen gas present what would you expect the result to be ?
Four individual atoms.
The two pairs of hydrogen and oxygen atoms separated.
Not !
God designed and built atoms, not people.
The result of the explosion, if you have twice as much hydrogen as oxygen, is yes the hydrogen and oxygen molecules break apart into individual atoms, but then they immediately reattach.
But not to each other.
Two hydrogen atoms adhere to one oxygen atom forming a molecule with the chemical formula H2O
Water.
Pastor Frank maybe on a Sunday in the future I will bring in a balloon filled with hydrogen gas and do a demonstration for you.
Hydrogen molecule looks like this ~
oo
Oxygen molecule like this ~
OO
Water molecule like this ~
o o
O
Sort of like a Mickey Mouse head.
More order and higher complexity than either the oxygen or hydrogen molecules.
This is not an isolated incident.
What is an explosion ?
For chemicals it is fast burning.
But during slow burning the exact same process occurs.
When DNA turns a baby into an adult it does so by a very slow “burning” energy consuming chemical reaction known as mitosis.
Time lapse photography on the cellular level of the mitosis process looks like an explosion.
