He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
Psalm 147:4-5There has been a lot of discussion in recent years about the teaching of creation verses evolution. Evolutionist sometimes ask how, if the Earth is only tens of thousands of years old, (as we creationist believe) can light from the stars be reaching us. After all, it takes millions of light years for much of it travel to Earth.
This theory sounds okay, until you consider our God. He is not confined by time and space as we are. His mind is not finite like ours. His understanding goes to a higher level than ours. The human argument pales when you look at the awesomeness of God!
I can tell you that, with our feeble, earthly minds we cannot understand God without faith. You will never, on this Earth, be able to fully comprehend all of God. His wisdom existed before time and it will go on when there is no more time. How long have you been "smart"? He has far more answers than you could ever have questions; and His answers are always the truth.
Why not discover the truth today by opening a copy of His word (the Bible you know)? Invest some time in eternal knowledge!
And, by the way, what do you think He names the stars? (Let me know.)
