He Made the Stars Also

Genesis 1:14-19 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”

I have always loved Creation Science because the Cosmos causes us to look beyond the superficial world in awe of our Creator. It’s easy to take for granted that the sun rises and sets daily, that the seasons come and go and come again annually, or that the moon and the stars are always there. But did you know that the earth is spinning at about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 KPH); 1.3 times faster than the speed of sound? Did you know that the earth revolves around the Sun moving 67,000 mph?  How about that our Sun and solar system are moving at 490,000 mph inside our Milky Way galaxy and the Milky Way hurls through the cosmos at 1.2 million mph? Fascinating, yet all these heavenly bodies follow systematic paths that are established with precise mathematical laws. Tom DeRosa of the Creation Science Institute states that this is an extremely huge factor when considering how the universe’s mechanically-dynamic system operates with such accuracy. This is yet one more example of the intricate and harmonious clockwork-like precision we see in the heavens with all of it pointing to an all-powerful Creator. The only logical conclusion is that the cause of all these phenomena in the cosmos point to an infinite Designer and Creator. One who has left evidence behind so that we will know that He exists.

Isaiah 45:12 “I have made the earth, and created man on it. I—My hands—stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded.”

The Institute for Creation Research documents that greatest scientist of the past were creationist and for that matter, were also Bible-believing Christians, men who believed in the inspiration and authority of the Bible, as well as in the deity and saving work of Jesus Christ. They believed that God supernaturally created all things, each with it’s own complex structure for its own unique purpose. The believed that, as scientists, they were “thinking God’s thoughts after Him,” learning to understand and control laws and processes of nature for God’s glory and mankind’s good. The Scientific Method was created by the Christian Scientist Sir Francis Bacon and almost all of the scientific disciplines were established by Creation Scientist – Lister, Pasteur, Newton, Kepler, Boyle, Rayleigh, Fleming, Maxwell, Faraday, Da Vinci, Pascal, Kelvin, Babbage, Brewster, Ramsay, Morse, Maury, and more, whose researches and analysis led to the very laws and concepts of science brought about our modern scientific age.

Psalm 8:3-4 “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?”

Creation Scientist and Christian, Johann Kepler, the founder of the disciple of “Physical Astronomy”, “Planetary Motion”, and “ Celestial Mechanics” stated, “Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it benefits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.” DeRosa concludes that the heavens that surround us are not man’s possession but God’s. He created all the stars in the universe. Who are we to proclaim the deep mysteries of the cosmos without the light of Christ? We need to move forward declaring the truths of Creation in this depraved world. Jesus Christ is the ultimate reason for life. He is the Light of the world. He gives us true knowledge and the heavens declare His glory.
