Science has brought us some marvelous
innovations in the last few years and
the one that amazes me most is
the Hubble Space Telescope. What a
wonder of wonders! We can actually see
things through infra-red technology that are 12 billion light years away. That's twelve billion times six trillion
miles. Who can comprehend that? A light
year is the distant that light will travel in one year at 186, 282 miles per
second. Through this telescope we can
see nebulae, supernovas, blackholes, distant solar systems. Even in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, there
is a star named Eta Carinae that is five million times brighter than our
sun. If you are interested go on-line
to the Hubble Space Telescope site and check-out the jaw-dropping photographs.
Our habituation of course is planet Earth which is one of the smaller planets
in a very small solar system compared to others that have been discovered. When we think of the vastness that lies
outside of planet earth and how small
that each of us is on this tiny planet we have to remember that it is not about
us. It's about God. The Bible says, "The heavens declare
the glory of God." and "Lift up your eyes and see who created these
things". The things that God
created communicate His Majesty and Glory.
