When we look what happened a hundred years in the past, scientists were sure of many truths:

“The greatest experts were certain that the universe had always existed and was always the size it is now. Most biologists were sure that proteins, not DNA, were responsible for heredity. “

Yes, one of the truths of science is the failure of medicine, the thought that Covid- 19 can be gabbed away by an injection,

What do we think about the milky way? To the ancient Greeks, it was a squint squirt  breast milk, and to the Mayan farmers it was a growing maize stalk. to Abraham, it signalled God’s care in preparing the universese,for us. -

Well. how did the universe get a beginnoing. .Evolutionists think that the big bang brought life to our galaxy.  

Some evolutionists say that soon we will even be able to pinpoint the specific events that led to the formation of our sun.

Two black holes fused into one. “Imagine the energy of eight Suns released in an instant.” This brings to mind how great is our God.

According to evolutionists, the signal from this event travelled for some  seven billion years to reach Earth but was still sufficiently strong to rattle laser detectors in the US and Italy in May last year.

Researchers say the colliding black holes produced a single entity with a mass 142 times that of our Sun.

"It's astounding, really," said Prof Nelson Christensen from the Côte d'Azur Observatory in France. "This signal propagated for 7 million years . So this event happened 'just before halftime' for the Universe, and now it's mechanically moved our detectors here on Earth," he explained to BBC News.

The heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19:1)

When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.
(Luke 19:37-40)



Even if we keep silent, the rocky planets and other created objects in sky declare the glory of our Maker: ”The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands,” King David wrote 3000 years ago.
