When I give presentations on the beauty of God’s creation, and how the heavens declare the glory of God, there are often those who will mistakenly reference what I present as astrology. I quickly correct them, pointing out that the field of science being discussed is called ASTRONOMY. The two terms do sound remarkably similar … Read More
In 1781, Sir William Herschel made a discovery that would change the astronomy of his day. For nearly a century, since Cassini’s discovery of 4 new moons around Saturn, no celestial bodies had been added to the solar system. Herschel’s find was not merely another planetary satellite, but another planet entirely. The planet Uranus. Uranus … Read More

Both creationists and evolutionists have a set of beliefs that are unobservable and must be taken by faith. Biblical creationists believe that in the beginning, the God of the Bible created the heaven and Earth. We believe that God created man distinctly different than the animals, and that we were given charge over the animals. … Read More

The human eye is a powerful organ with the ability of taking millions of snapshots, and sending those to the brain to be analyzed and interpreted. All of this happens in time to act or react almost instantaneously to a given situation. Even still, we have been able to reach beyond certain functions of the … Read More

It seems that every week, a new supposed Earth-like planet is reported in the news, some recent articles even claiming that there are several billion similar planets in our galaxy alone. But how much do we really know about these other systems? A recent report by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics reveals that the closest … Read More
Many times, atheists believe that they are eliminating the need for faith when they reject the concept of a Creator. They believe that this is the only way to maintain a scientific approach, and take faith out of the picture. However, rejecting the idea of God only serves to make things infinitely more complicated for … Read More
There are billions of stars, floating in the vast expanse of space.

But is it founded at all in fact? SETI was formed in 1963 … Read More

Many of these rare occurrences can only be observed by individuals with extremely advanced technology, such as the telescopes and optics that I often employ. Let’s take a closer look at an occurrence that … Read More
