Origin of the Universe

There's a nice telescope down by the South Pole; it's operated by Americans.  And they have found something spectacular out in space!  They are looking at a small spot way out in space, and they have found a wrinkle.  It's not as hard to spot wrinkles in my face these days, but the face of space is really huge, so it has taken us a while to get to this point.

Lots of astronomers and physicists have been working to figure out the beginning of the universe, the nature of the BIG BANG and so on.  This wrinkle in light tells them something about that bang.  And so they conclude….

….that it started out with something "unimaginably small" -- now that started me thinking….what is meant by something so small you can't even imagine how small it is??  It sounds a lot like "no-thing" to me - something so small you can't measure it is a "not-thing"  And that is precisely the faith that the writer of Hebrews talks about -- faith in the living God who made all that is out of "nothing."

It seems to me that every time I read something about the newest advances in science I find myself thinking of Scripture.  I think the scientists deserve honor, for they come closer and closer to Christ, in whom all things hold together…through whom all things were made…

I like science…thanks, guys!
