Me:\u00a0 Howdy Prodigal!\u00a0 Watcha doing?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I am outside with my friend and we are looking at the stars.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I always enjoyed studying about the stars and planets.\u00a0 I just read some interesting facts about our universe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

James Gills, M.D.\u00a0 writes in his book Exceeding Gratitude for the Creator’s Plan<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The level of precision of the universe is 10 to the 10 to the 27th, a number that is humanly impossible to describe.\u00a0 The minute details of every movement of the stars, every element of the planets, every formative attribute of the Earth are precisely what is needed to sustain life, to the unfathomable degree that the most brilliant scientist could never begin to reproduce.\u00a0 The sheer magnitude of the universe that has been discovered to date is beyond our comprehension.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The planet Venus is the size of the Earth.\u00a0 But is has very long days because it takes eight months to rotate one time.\u00a0 And it is the only planet that is retrograde–it rotates in the opposite direction of all the others in our galaxy.\u00a0 As a result, its atmospheric pressure is ninety times greater than the Earth’s.\u00a0 The upper clouds of Venus drip sulfuric acid, and there are surface hurricane winds constantly, along with deafening thunder and lightning strikes, and a one thousand degree Fahrenheit surface temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jupiter, the largest planet in our galaxy, could hold one thousand Earths.\u00a0 It rotates so fast that one day is only eight hours long.\u00a0 It has surface winds of one thousand miles per hour.\u00a0 while it cannot sustain any known form of life, it performs a very important role for our Earth.\u00a0 If Jupiter were not placed precisely where it is, comets would strike the Earth one thousand times more frequently than they do, threatening our very existence.\u00a0 Saturn is the beauty queen of the Milky Way’s planets.\u00a0 Its gigantic rings are exquisite to behold.\u00a0 It contains seven hundred fifty times the volume of the Earth.\u00a0 Two of its moons perform an extraordinary feat.\u00a0 Every four years they shift in their orbits, looking as though they are about to crash into each other.\u00a0 But then, at the last “moment”\u00a0 they do a kind of “dance” and switch orbits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You were thinking God is small and is unable to handle the demands that are on you.\u00a0 Well he is protecting us from comets by using Jupiter right now.\u00a0 He is protecting you right now by using someone else.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Romans 1:20<\/p>\n

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead.<\/p>\n
