Fly Me To The Moon


 And let me play among the stars...

I'm still reading articles on the discoveries of the James Webb Telescope. It's hard to differentiate between the crazies and the scientists.  The former tend toward a prediction of the end times.  The experts are giving us facts that I'm still finding hard to grasp.  

UCF planetary Scientist Noemi Pinilla-Alonsos was among the first to see the galaxy clusters, cosmic ridges and new stars 13 billion lightyears away at the edge of time and the birth of the universe.  I love her quote below:

It holds key information on the first stages of the formation the solar system.  We know that we all are made of the same materials that form the solar system, in reality, and that is one part of that inventory of materials that we don't know.  So knowing about the first stages of the solar system is knowing about ourselves.

That last sentence is so very exciting. 

I saw an older episode of "Young Sheldon" last night.  Sheldon was questioning his Baptist minister about the nature of God.  He was asking if God is the savior of (just) the world, or the universe.  The minister was completely flummoxed.  

I would recommend that Pastor Jeff read "Your God is too Small" by J. B. Phillips.
