NASA astronaut Victor Glover, who is currently aboard the International Space Station, took to social media this week to share some stunning photos of the sunset and sunrise from outer space. The view, he said, reminded him of a Bible verse from Psalms.
The first Black astronaut to travel on a long-term mission in space, Victor Glover, recently shared that he has brought with him to the International Space Station his Bible and a set of communion cups.
In one of our latest “What Would You Say?” videos, my colleague Brooke McIntire takes on the myth of “settled science.” Proposing and overturning theories is an ongoing part of the process. Even longstanding scientific consensus is vulnerable to new and contrary evidence, and scientists are fallible and biased human beings too.
Christians should realize that the awe that overwhelms humans when watching man set foot on the moon or a robot land on Mars or astronauts boarding the space station is more than a mere feeling. Rather, it’s a testament to our unique status and role in creation, as well as our drive and capacity to imagine beyond the constraints of what is to what might be, and it’s a reminder that the universe is a place to be known, explored, and even subdued.
