Psalm 19:1-2
The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament sheweth his handyword. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

Several days ago I was reading the Trumpet magazine, and there was an interesting article titled “The Perfect Seat for Viewing the Universe” written by Joel Hilliker. In the article, the writer talks about the Hubble Telescope and its orbiting the earth every 97-minute while discussing the journey the telescope has made and the wonders of the universe it has discovered and have relayed some amazing pictures back to earth, thus opening the eyes of scientists to the wonders of our creator God. The writer, Mr. Hilliker makes a statement and asks thoughtful question as both are very profound, which were “The heaven have a message for us. Do you hear what they are saying? Scientists attempts to answer the above question, they came up with more questions, such as “What are the laws of the universe? Where does it end? Where did it all come from? Why is it there? The last question the scientist raised were why am I here? To answer these questions, first, the message God wants all to know is that there is a God, and it is Him the creator, the giver of live in any form and it is He alone that sustains all that is in the universe, earth and humanity included. God is the only one who can step out on nothing and create something, all seen and unseen. The second message is that He is to be worshipped and glorified because if the heavenly bodies can why can’t man? The laws of the universe obey God because He is the creator of the universe and in doing so He established the order in which the universe is to operate. Isn’t all creation supposed to obey its creator? The universe ends where God say it does, and the origin of the universe is left to God’s knowledge because all recorded biblical research on the question comes back with it came from nothing as God in His creative powers created it out of nothing. The last two questions can be answered by stating that the universe exist because the all wise God knew in His creative process what He wanted and what was to be and lastly in my biblical knowledge and scientific knowledge is that humanity is here because God wants a relationship with mankind and to manage (have dominion over) what’s on planet earth. Therefore, God created planted earth suitable for humanity’s to live and exits in a perfect world. Although mankind in his effort to be a god has compromised God’s order of creation and through God’s divine revelation is using the Hubble Telescope telling all who will listen that “I am God, the creator and sustainer of this universe, and there is none beside me.”
More importantly, scientist is coming to grips with and is acknowledging that yes there is a Supreme Being and that the universe just didn’t happen by luck or the “Big Bang Theory” as so many evolutionist would have you to believe. My question is if the Big Gang Theory was true, which it isn’t then how can the universe operate as it does? If man evolved from a one cell animal how did man evolve into his complex structure we know our bodies to be? Lastly, how did we become a living soul if God is non-existence? Also, Mr. Hilliker’s article points out that some scientists refer to the earth as The Privileged Planet or the Goldilocks planet” whatever or however they refer to planet earth it was conceived in the super intelligent mind of someone far bigger than humanity. God in His divine wisdom knew the conditions necessary for man’s existences; therefore He set everything just right for man on planet earth.
In closing this dialogue, I can say to the scientists and all others who doubt that there is a God, this believer and I am confident that other believers agree that there is a God who created everything at is seen and unseen (Romans 1:20) and believe the Bible when it states the “In the beginning God created the heavens and earth (Genesis 1:1). Therefore, believers did not need the findings of the Hubble Telescope to reveal the majesty and glory of God, because believers look at what we can see with the natural eye and say “what an awesome God.”
I am very pleased that author, Joel Hilliker acknowledges the work of God and who He is as well as some scientists are realizing that the universe and its majestic splendor is in existence because of God and the universe give glory and honor to His. What is being revealed is God saying “ Yes I exist.”
Lastly, if the heavens can declare the glory of God, then so can I.

Note: Next week I will again give a discussion on the Sunday school lesson.
