Atheists and unbelievers like to point to the size of the universe as a supposed refutation of the book of Genesis account of creation which centers around the creation of human life. I was blessed to have once heard a lecture by Christian astrophysicist Hugh Ross, in which he explained that scientific facts point to the very opposite conclusion- the universe seems designed to support human life. The universe must be the size that it is (it must have the exact mass that it has) in order for there to be the array of scientific elements that there are, and those elements are needed to support life on Earth. God created the universe as a whole (as well as human life) and designed the universe and the earth specifically to support human life.
I was able to dig up for my readers here some of Dr. Ross's writing on the same subject. http://www.reasons.org/articles/anthropic-principle-a-precise-plan-for-humanity
Dr. Ross did write a complete book on the subject matter, as well, and the book is available on Amazon.com, called Why the Universe Is the Way It Is.
