“When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:3-4).
People may not have a Bible, and they may not have dreams or visions from the Lord, but when they look out at the sun, the moon, and the stars, they are looking at the wonders God has created. If man is honest with himself, he realizes that someone must have created all this. It all runs in perfect harmony and according to divine laws that God has established. Yet some people persist in believing that all this happened by chance, and without any Creator.
Through astronomy, which is the study of the stars and the universe, we are learning more and more about God’s creation. The more we know about it, the more wonderful it seems to us. For example, from what we have discovered about the stars up until now, we know that there are 10,000 times as many stars as there are grains of sand on this earth. That is hard to believe, yet it is true! When we know this, it should make us want to know more about the God who created it all. Also, it should make us realize our responsibility to God, who made us as well.
