Cosmic History

The feature article for the September 4, 2006 issue of Time is about cosmology--how the stars were born. I love reading these articles about the universe and its history. The more that scientists discover, the more awe-some the creation becomes to me. Perhaps it sounds simplistic, but as scientists unravel the secrets of the universe, far from squeezing God out of the cosmos, it inspires greater wonder and greater awe in me. I am led to say with the psalmist, "The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge."
