Herschel Finds a Hole in Space


"The Herschel Space Observatory" has made an unexpected discovery: a gaping hole in the clouds surrounding a batch of young stars. The hole has provided astronomers with a surprising glimpse into the end of the star-forming process."
...
One of the last great frontiers is space. Nearly every week we are discovering new things we have never seen or known before. There is so much we still don't know.....so much still to learn. Discovery is ongoing.
...
How could anyone claim, "there is no God?" With all we still don't know how could anyone make such an ultimate statement of knowledge? There is still so much to know. How could anyone know that God is not there?
...
The real answer to this claim is not based on knowledge, but a choice to turn away from the God they know exists. The claim of the atheist is never one of knowledge. It's always a decision of emotion. It is, ultimately, a decision of faith for a people who claim no faith. David described it this way when he wrote, "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good. 2 God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. 3 Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one."
...
While we observe the heavens to discover what is out there God is, at the same time, observing us to see what's in our hearts. While we watch the heavens he watches us! While we are still discovering, God already knows. He knows each one. While there is much we still don't know, there is nothing God doesn't know. He's sees the ones who refuse to see him. He knows each one even if we don't know him. Space continues to amaze us, but space was created to show us God. God made it all so we would declare, "there must be a God who made all of this!"
