G - Great Galaxy Seeds

With the big bang, scientists believe we see slight variations (ripples) in the temperature of the cosmic background radiation
COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) found ripples that showed that the explosion and expansion was precisely tweaked 

•  Just enough matter congregate to allow galaxy formation
•  Not too much matter to cause the universe to collapse on itself

Since we are looking at the past because of the time it takes to reach earth, we can see the early universe that would ultimately form galaxies

E - Einstein's Theory of General Relativity

Shows that time, space and matter had an absolute beginning 
Shows interdependence of time, space and matter

Does the big bang point to God?
Astronomers have proven, by their own methods, the world began abruptly in an act of creation
Since the Big Bang is where time, space and matter came from, the cause has to be outside of nature
The cause of the creation of the universe can not come from the effect

Key Phrase: The cause of the creation of the universe can not come from the effect
