If you could hie to NGC-7293

  4. One only needs to look into the heavens on a moonless night and ask themselves, where what and why are they? (stars, planets, galexies, nebuli) With out optical aid, they all look the same. They did not come about by chance. They have an order, and they are in a given dimension.
    To man, space is almost inconceivable, to God, Space is a moment, (a twinkling of an eye). God, or the God’s, have designed the heavens for specific purposes we dwellers on earth have yet to understand. Was it a big bang? Did it really take just seven days? …To be continued
