When Science testifies God's love for man





Yesterday, my science topic for my kindergartners was about stars and luckily, they were so interested about them. Majority in the class liked Rigel, Pistol Star, Arcturus and most especially the biggest known star - Canis Majoris.  I explained to them that stars are not like as tiny dots as they can see in the clear night sky everyday. These colossal stars are more than millions or billions miles away from as that's why they appear small from us. Furthermore, I explained to them that these stars are much bigger than our sun and that they are not the animated stars they used to sing when they were in preschool.




While we were watching the short video clip that showed the clear comparison of the stars and the planets  in the solar system, a sudden strange feeling stirred me up so I immediately went to the toilet and washed my face for I could not believe how great our God is. I was completely stunned in awe for His love for us.


Take a look at the photo below.


Our planet barely appears a tiny dot when we put a Canis Majoris next to it. Yet Canis Majoris is only a tiny dot among several hundred billions stars forming our galaxy. And there are a hundred billions of galaxies out there! That is so unbelievable!

A hundred billions of galaxies


We are loved! I felt so happy that we are far away from these dangerous and scorching stars. How could Earth, only  a tiny spectacle, be placed in a safe location in the solar system far away from these gigantic stars? Why doesn't earth change its distance as it revolves around the sun?  Is it just a coincidence? No! 


God is the creator of all these things.
He placed the planets, stars, galaxies and other objects in the universe into their proper order and He knows each of them by name. Indeed, God is enormous and omnipotent. There have been discrepancies between science and the bible but we are not aware science itself testifies the truth about our living and Almighty God.

We are so tiny and fragile,barely visible like a vapor in the air and yet His love for us surpasses the vast universe.


How are you going to respond to this incomparable love?

The Amazing Scientific Fact








Science is a systematized body of knowledge. (-from my very old  Oxford dictionary)



Science is being taught since the primary years (most schools) and we do learn a lot of things and find the answers to our questions we encounter in our daily lives.



Through science, man begin to discover and create technology which continually develops sorts of new machines and hi-tech gadgets to suit our satisfaction and needs.



Well, I must admit, I pretty love science (especially the experiments) since my primary years and I just love it how it explains the phenomenon. It’s cool and there’s a way lots of fun things to do.



As I grow older, I became to realize that there’s even greater than science.



And...when I saw this picture for the first time during the Sunday school, I was sitting on one corner, and I was extremely stunned.




This is a protein molecule that glues our body together and there are about trillions of these inside our body. (That’s a massive amount of glue!). That’s how this tinny tiny cell gives a huge function into our body. It’s called Laminin.




Have you realized that no matter how you turn your back to Him, no matter how you let Him go from your life, yet He still never let us go? Still, His arms are spread wide open for us whenever we want to come back to Him.



Yes!He lives in every single cell of our body. Thus, He holds our body together. He holds everything together. (Col. 1:17)


For that reason,no reason is enough for us to quit when we feel like we cannot take a single step further anymore for He is with us and He will never ever keep us down... as HE always promise since the beginning and for sure, He will keep it.


That made me say how Great He is more than science, more than anything on earth, and in the whole wide universe.
