Seeing the light on how universe started

Did you see a sunset recently? Since it takes about eight minutes for the light from the sun to reach your eyes, the sun had actually set that long before you “saw” it set.

The science of astronomy uses this pathway of light travel to actually “see” what was happening a fantastic long time ago. Like a “time machine” of sorts.

So with modern telescopes, many of these scientists have been convinced that the universe has a beginning, some even call it a “creation.” Some have a set date of about 14 billion years for the time of its birth.

From the increasing facts these scientists gather, many of them reject the claim that by blind chance the universe (and our Earth) became fine tuned to finally make life of any sort possible.

And other scientists raise believable reasons to reject the view that life originated by the evolution of chance.

We are left with the choice of accepting by faith (required to believe in evolution) that evolution is true, or accepting by faith that the Bible is basically true (if rightly understood) that God is the creator of the universe and of life itself. (For me, it takes less faith to believe the Bible).

Science gives us a path of light to see what we have not seen before. Why not “see the light?”
