Finding God in the Heavens Recent discoveries in space can be cause for praise http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2004/116/21.0.html
Whenever I go camping, I do not sleep in a tent, a sleep an a sleeping bag face up so I can fall asleep looking at what God created.
There is a scripture that I can't seem to quote directly right now of course, something about "the heavens and the earth declare the glory of God!"
From the article: 'Traveling to Mars via spaceship, Markos says, Lewis's hero Ransom "finds what the medievals would have expected—a warm place full of life." '
Uh.... no. Even if every planet in the universe has life on it... the universe remains basically empty, hardly "full" of life. Plus, it's average temperature, based on the cosmic background, is about 3 Kelvin above absolute zero, so it's not warm, either. Heck... Mars at it's best is cold. You can't accurately describe a place with carbon dioxide snow as "warm."
Besides, the author missed the REAL evidence:

But one that's got me stumped... Louis Markos, English professor at Houston Baptist University says: "The Greek word cosmos means ornament. It is because the cosmos is God's ornament, it is his poem."
"Cosmos" = "ornament?" If this is true, it's a very, very secondary meaning of "Cosmos;" by far the primary meaning of cosmos in Greek that has led to it being used to describe the universe today is "order," not "ornament."
