I love how scientists anthropomorphize the physical universe, so that stars that are going through their last stages of being a star are characterized as “dying.” Yet, who knows? I love how C. S. Lewis looked at the issue in…

Over the years, various theories of the creation of the universe have attacked Christian theories of origins. The first generally supported theory was Fred Hoyle’s steady state model, which argued against a beginning point. It said that the universe had…

Today’s image is a composite of three views of galaxy cluster MS0735.6+7421, which is located in the constellation Camelopardus, approximately 2.6 billion light-years from earth: NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in Feb. 2006, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in Nov. 2003, and…
