Myth, 92

 

~ Astronomy Denies The Existence Of God ~  

Background  ~  Galileo was, and still today, is considered to be one of the most brilliant minds of his era.  For example, using a telescope in 1610 he was the first to observe both the mountainous nature of the moon’s surface and the enormous number of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. 

Consequences  ~  Galileo and his scientific peers work have eventually led to many scientists coming to agreement that real truth includes both physical and spiritual realities. 

Quotes  ~  Dr. Robert John Russell (no relation to this author) has written, “As in bridge building, each community, the religious and the scientific, must find bedrock in its own world, yet each must venture out toward the other, hoping that one day the two will meet at the keystone.”

Werner Heisenberg, who is considered the father of Quantum Physics, remarked: “The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences may make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass, God is waiting for you.”  

Scripture  ~  “Then God said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth’; and it was so.  Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.  He made the stars also.  God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness.  And God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:14-18).

“When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?  For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor” (Psalm 8:3-5).
