Hey friends, I’m switching up the usual informational posts for a deep thought from writer Brett McCracken. He is talking about the upcoming movie “The Story Of Everything”, which is a beautifully done documentary showing all the ways science actually points toward the existence of God rather than the opposite. Take a moment to read this quote and follow the link for the whole article.
“There are two paths for science: Seek to understand and marvel at God’s reality, or seek to overcome it and get burned.
I pray that many Christian young people today will pursue the former path—the God-honoring science modeled by Galileo, Kepler, Pascal, and Newton that enhanced theology and never sought to replace it. I pray that kids today will find heroic the sort of science modeled by Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, who recently led humans deeper into space than they’d ever gone.
Glover is a scientist at the top of his field but also an outspoken Christian who speaks of “the beauty of creation” rather than a random nature. His faith even seems to have rubbed off on his nonreligious coastronauts.
Glover’s impromptu Easter dispatch from space (in an interview with CBS News) captures what The Story of Everything also conveys.
Our planet is privileged, unique—one might say, graced. The perspective from space underscores it:
‘You guys are talking to us because we’re in a spaceship really far from Earth, but you’re on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos. . . . In all of this emptiness—this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe—you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist [in] together.’
I love the image of an oasis. In the vast, cold darkness of the cosmos, we’ve been given a vibrant home, Earth, that isn’t only bountiful but beautiful. And the more we learn about our home—including our bodies within it—the more it feels less like a random wilderness and more like a master-planned garden. Less like an empty void and more like Eden.” - Brett McCracken
