Borrowed Breath

On April 23rd, a NASA satellite “detected the ten-second-long gamma-ray burst” that was from about 13 billion light years away.

So approximately 13 billion years ago (give or take a few) this star exploded.
And we just saw it in April. “We” meaning NASA.

That’s crazy.

I believe in the Biblical account of creation.

I believe that God created the heaven and the earth and man and animals and plants and the oceans and etc.

And I love when something like this comes along and makes me feel small.

I believe that the creation poem that Moses recorded in Genesis is true.
But that does not make it a science text book.

In my opinion, the creation story is more about “who” than “how.”
God created. Period.
How He did it? I don’t know.

I’m okay with that.

Add it to the ever-growing list of things I don’t know.
