Have you ever wondered how powerful God is, from a quantitative viewpoint? Well, let us put a lower bound on this question. To start, a simple camera flash which has the energy of about 10 Joules. The energy released by the explosion of 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of TNT is about 4.2x10^6 Joules (4,200,000). The energy released by the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan is about 6.3x10^13 Joules (63,000,000,000,000). The total world annual energy consumption in 2010 was 5x10^20 Joules (500,000,000,000,000,000,000). The daily energy output of the sun is 3.3x10^31 Joules (33,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000). The lifetime energy output of the sun is about 1.2x10^44 Joules. The total visible mass-energy in the observable universe is about 4x10^69 Joules.
God created a universe with at least 4x10^69 Joules of energy.
How many tons of TNT is this? Converting the units above, we get 1.05x10^60 tons of TNT. This number can be expressed in full as 1,050,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons of TNT. We can also say 1.05 million billion billion billion billion billion billion tons of TNT.
As you can see, God's power is beyond imagination. He can easily handle the lives of a few billion people, if you allow Him into your life.
