God And the Astronomer
In 1929 astronomer Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding. This discovery strongly implied that the cosmos had a beginning in the finite past. Robert Jastrow, founding director of NASA’s Goddard Space Institute, reflects on how contemporary evidence—when objectively viewed--points to the existence of a supernatural Creator.

David and the Pale Blue Dot
On February 14, 1990, the Voyager 1 spacecraft photographed Earth from 3.7 billion miles away. The result was one of the most iconic images in history. Astronomer Carl Sagan called it the “pale blue dot”—a reflection of Earth’s insignificance in the cosmos. But, is our planet really hopelessly lost in a cold, dark universe? Or, do the Psalms of David more accurately reflect the inherent value of Earth and the human beings who call it home? A look at two contrasting views of planet Earth and the human beings who call it home. Are we cast hopelessly adrift in a cold, dark universe? Or, are we the special creations of God?
