Isn't our God wonderful in how He throws these curveballs to the wisdom of man and science, just when it is thought "well, we got it figured out now," there is a discovery that shoots holes right through it all!

The other night I heard a scientist state that there are more stars in the Universe than grains of sand on the earth, it gave me pause to contemplate that idea when you consider the distance of light years between the stars, that makes for quite an incomprehensible Universe wouldn't you say?

Isn't it fantastic that Scripture has compared the number of stars to sand as well, right from Genesis forward?

Thanks for all the input!

Joe

This brought to mind my favorite Psalm, Psalm 19: It begins "The heavens declare the glory of God.."  I am really into astronomy.  Me and a buddy of mine were out star gazing over the weekend with our 'scopes.  I was sparticularly amazed with the andromeda galaxy.  It is 2.7 million light years away, but that is considered close in astronomical terms.  So close, that we are linked with this star system gravitationally, and are on a collision course with it.  We will merge with the Andromeda system in about 5 billion years or so! I think I often feel God's presence more when I am out looking at His marvelous creation, and how puny we are in comparison.

Nice to know there is someone else on this forum that likes space!

ciao,

Joe
