The more we know....

It seems that as we discover more of the universe it becomes clearer to me that we have a most awesome God. He has made galaxies that we have yet to see just to show us how amazing he is. Here is part of an article from the NASA web page talking about this new discovery:

"On August 25, 2003, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope blasted into the same dark skies it now better understands. In just two years, the observatory's infrared eyes have uncovered a hidden universe teeming with warm stellar embryos, chaotic planet-forming disks, and majestic galaxies, including the delightfully odd galaxy called NGC 4725 shown here. (I'm sure that's not what God has named it. -Mike) This peculiar galaxy is thought to have only one spiral arm. Most spiral galaxies have two or more arms. Astronomers refer to NGC 4725 as a ringed barred spiral galaxy because a prominent ring of stars encircles a bar of stars at its center (the bar is seen here as a horizontal ridge with faint red features). In this false-color Spitzer picture, the galaxy's arm is highlighted in red, while its center and outlying halo are blue. Red represents warm dust clouds illuminated by newborn stars, while blue indicates older, cooler stellar populations. The red spokes seen projecting outward from the arm are clumps of stellar matter that may have been pushed together by instable magnetic fields. NGC 4725 is located 41 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices."

And for me here is the amazing part of this....God describes the creation of the stars, the galaxies and the universe in this way in the book of Genesis. Read it carefully, it's really quite amazing:

Gen 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
Gen 1:15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.
Gen 1:16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.

Did you notice that last phrase? Only 5 words that speak of a universe we are only now beginning to discover. 5 words that describe billions of galaxies we have yet to see. A universe so vast we are only beginning to measure it. Now I must admit that if you are going to worship any God don't you want to worship the one who creates all of this almost as an afterthought? 5 words to describe a universe so vast, amazing and beautiful that we have yet to see even a small part of it. What an awesome God! That's the God I worship.
