I have had writer’s block, or apathy. I have not had anything witty or pithy to write about. Well, I do now…
Indescribable. That is a good word for tonight. We had a night of worship tonight, and boy was it worship. This is all connected to the Genesis study we are doing at church. Part of tonight’s worship was a video from evangelistic Louis Giglio. The video focused on astronomy, galaxies, nebulae and stuff like that. One of the galaxies is called the Whirlpool Galaxy. It is almost completely normal (perpendicular) to us, so we get a good view of it. The Hubble has taken many amazing photos of it. Scientists then pointed the Hubble at the black hole center of the Whirlpool Galaxy. The photo that came back is called the ‘X-Structure of the Whirlpool Galaxy.” Really? Is that what you call it? That’s not what I call it. I’ll let you decide what to call it:
I have a passion for space, space flight, space craft, space invaders, and other things space. I have never seen that photo until tonight. I am surprised I have missed it. From the indescribable structure of a living cell to a black hole that is measured in light years. There is a God, and I am not it. I leave you with another picture from the Hubble. This one is called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. (I have seen this one and already knew of it. I am just sharing.) This is an ultra long exposure picture that took about six months to take. Scientist focused on a dark part of sky for this picture. The field of view is the equivalent of a piece of paper 1/32″ square three feet away, or 1/13,000,000 of the night sky. They estimate there are about 10,000 galaxies in this picture of empty, dark night sky. There are no foreground stars from the Milky Way in this picture, so everything you see is a galaxy.
Yes, there is a God, and I am not it.
