That would depend on what you call God or gods. Jesus says God is love. Are you saying we don't need love? Genesis 1 explains God as the Forces of Nature, and goes on to describe how this God (the Forces of the Universe) made everything in seven stages, and supposedly this process ended with the creation of two humans called Adam and Eve (there were plenty people around when Adam was made). Genesis is a riddle and it even reveals the age of Planet Earth. Supposedly God created everything in 6 stages of 1000 years each, and supposedly one day for God is like 1000 years for us. He is supposed to have rested while Adam and Eve lived and died, about 1000 years where God is resting and Adam sweating. This cycle of creation supposedly started with the creation of the Earth and ended about 6000 years ago with the creation of Adam when God would rest until Noah's kingdom was flooded. Supposedly Adam was a human clone of some demiurge calling himself Jahveh.
6000 x 365.25 x 1000 = 2 191 500 000
5777 x 365.25 x 1000 = 2 110 049 250
SUM = 4 301 549 250 years
According to Google Earth is 4 543 000 000 years old, according to Genesis and the Hebrew calendar Google's almost right. Or maybe God counts the Sabbaths too?

I agree fully with Mandroid and respect several of these posters for their honest takes on why these ratios are the way they are.

I asked a sincere question in the title about the supposed divine nature of how the Universe orders itself according to the Laws of Physics.

ACTUALLY, if you had pulled your head out of your arse you would understand that most people in that list you boast allegiance with actually COMPLIES to the numbers and ratios posted in the OP

Most of the people in that list I agree fully with, but you and TerryDon79 are obviously unable to understand that.

Where do you get 5777 from?
4 301 549 250 Is almost 4 543 000 000
Another almost number. You're only 241.5 MILLION years out on that number. Not a big deal, right?

You are wrong. Morty did it. He also admitted to crucifying Christ and taking down the towers.
He lied.

5777 is 2016 in the Hebrew calendar (it hasn't really started yet, it starts at Rosh Hashannah in October.

My point is, Genesis says the Earth is about 4.5 billion years, NOT 6000 years.

So what is the exact age of Earth, geological speaking.
People simply can't ignore these things.

I also like that the Moon covers the sun just right during an eclipse. Beautiful coincidences.

a reply to: TerryDon79
Wait, so the moon and sun aren't the same size AND they're far away?
It's neat how in specific places and times the moon the eye and the sun are aligned in a way that despite their respective differences in both size and distance from the eye, they do in fact correspond quite exactly in perceived size, a coincidence noted by astronomers for a while now. What are the odds?
Not something that you see as interesting? Congratulations, do your own thing instead.
As above, so below is applied therefore to that which orbits our planet and that which our planet orbits.
Of course, it's just a coincidence, and we can still all be selfish gened monkeys, don't panic.
Same way as being on Saturn and looking towards the Sun you would also get other planets (eventually) eclipsing it in exactly the same way. Or how your thumb can block out the Sun in the same way the moon can.

they do in fact correspond quite exactly in perceived size,
So the ratio of the two orbits varies from 417 to 361, with an average of 388. The ratio of the sizes of the Sun and the Moon is about 400 so yes, sometimes the ratio is the same as the ratio in sizes but the majority of the time, it is not. An exact eclipse is a very, very rare event. I would be hard pressed to say that any modern (in the anthropological sense) human has ever seen one.

You wouldn't believe how your thinking changes when you polish yourself a homemade telescope and start keeping a journal of how stuff moves around the sky at night.
