Saturn and its planets

8th July

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8, 3 & 4

There is no creation without a Creator

God has given innumerable proofs of his existence to him who opens his eyes to discover them. More modern science fathoms the secrets of universe, the more it shows the necessity of a Creator. Nobody would have the idea that a space shuttle is able to lift up in the air, to turn around the earth, to land at a scheduled time and place without the genius of mathematicians, technicians and electronic engineers. What shall we say about the multitude of stars which orbit the cosmos with a rigorous exactness? It is said, that more faith is needed to believe that universe came up all by itself, than to believe in God as the Creator.

2 galaxies touching each other

The scientifics have calculated that the sun clears within a second the power of 5 000 000 000 000 atomic bombs. How many stars are in the universe which give out energy? There are thousands of millions and probably this only represents a small part of the vast which is unknown to us. When we think about this we are overcome by dizziness.

The world which we can discover by microscope is as incredible as the world of space. The electronic microscope reveals beauty, order and harmony from the infinitely small to the infinitely big.
