Learning about Outer Space

Today we read a book called I Wonder Why Stars Twinkle (and Other Questions about Space).

I got this book from the library so it has evolutionary point of views, but I think it is necessary to address these issues instead of avoiding them. I think it is important to know what other people believe, to look at it from a Biblical perspective, and then to conclude why we believe what we do and why others reject Intelligent Design/Creationism.

While reading the library book, we also looked at the book of Genesis to find out what the Bible says.

For example, why do the Sun and Moon exist? An evolutionist can say, "to give us light and darkness" but if they answer this question they must admit Intelligent Design. Random chance offers no reason for order.

But the Bible has all of the answers we need!

Genesis 1:16-18
16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.



We also enjoyed reading about all of the questions people ask about space and how it is for an astronaut who visits space.

We immensely enjoyed this YouTube video about eating in space. This was a real treat for the boys since they have never seen anything like this!
