THE SOMBRARO GALAXY TAKEN FROM THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE

So what else do I know about this? That God created it. Not the picture, one of His creations did. The whole galaxy!

That's all I really know. But we are to live by faith. My faith leads me to believe that God created it all.

In fact we are to point out the beauty in nature when we observe God's creation. It just may point an unbeliever to God. I mean who can look at a sunrise, the stars, the intricately designed butterfly, a newborn and not think of God? Well, apparently some. So it's up to us to give God the glory, and make sure others see it. Even if we don't say God created it.

That is, we do part of the work and allow the Holy Spirit to do the rest. That's the only way one comes to God anyway. But I don't see any harm in pointing out "just another beautiful work of God in that sunset tonight. Look at those colors!"

Last night our Small Group began The Truth Project. Because of some technical problems we had to skip to Lesson Two where Dale Tackett points out a Carl Sagan quote, "The cosmos--that's all there is, that's all there ever was or will be." Well, no Carl. Not if you have a religious bone in your body. I heard a pastor recently say that it takes more faith in something not to believe in God. Faith that it (the cosmos, I guess) just happened, and everything turned out so perfectly formed.

Our Small Group leader pointed out that science has become our god in the post modern world today. And that's sad. To worship the creation and not the Creator.
