Astronomical Improbabilities? // Psalm 19:1

Have you ever heard of the Galactic Inhabitable Zone? It is the astronomically improbably sliver of space where the earth resides that makes it possible to sustain life. If the earth was in a different spot, even down to a single degree (if not fraction of a degree), then life would not be possible. Too close to the center and radiation would kill everything. Any farther out and there wouldn’t be sufficient elements to provide an atmosphere. It really is amazing considering the some 400 billion starts that are in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. So, when you look up into the sky to see the sun, moon, and stars, it all points to an intelligent design that reveals a caring precision to creation as opposed to some chaotic coincidence. Why not join in with creation declaring the glory of God and the awesome handiwork of His hands? What is considered by some to be an astronomical improbability is nothing short of evidence of God’s amazing love for all of humanity, as well as you and me especially. That transforms the Galactic Inhabitable Zone right into the heart of our Lord God. Is there any better place to be?
