The creator has not kept the knowledge of the universe from us. Just ask the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is expected for us to progress from making fire to isolating the Higg’s Boson.

The creator has not kept the knowledge of the universe from us.


True, and that fact is important. The Bible doesn’t bother to argue if God exists or not; it simply asserts it (I AM) and instead describes His characteristics to us. Why? Because it’s obvious He exists.

Exhibit 1: The observable universe.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.” (Ps 19:1-3)

So studying the cosmos reveals knowledge to us about Him. We can see billions of light years in any directiion and see over 100 billion galaxies, each with 100 billion stars. The glory of the heavens is a reflection of His own glory, and He wants us to see what He hath wrought. Gloria in exelcis Deo!

The most surprising fact is that we *can* see it. We can peer almost all the way back to the Big Bang itself. That should not be possible except by the wildest stroke of luck. By all rights the night sky should be a hazy fog or black. To see interesting galactic structures at that distance, to see all those majestic pinwheel galaxies, requires a nonlinear alpha opacity function that is absolutely perfect.

Basically the universe has to be frothy, like soap bubbles, to create the huge multibillion voids that let us peer that far away.

It is perfectly balanced to work out that way. Amazing coincidence don’t you think?
