I am astonished by the blindness of those who think science is contrary to God. Perhaps their reasoning, whether they realize it or not, goes something like this: science has killed the Sun God, therefore there is no God.
The ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun, and Pharaohs were considered the Sun God on earth. The Aztecs believed the sun gods Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca demanded human sacrifice. In Japan the sun goddess, Amaterasu, was considered to be the supreme ruler of the world, and to this day sun symbols represent the Japanese state.
Modern science has revealed that the sun is not an intelligence ruling the cosmos, and the idea that one should worship or offer sacrifices to the sun seems ridiculously primitive. The sun is a massive ball of burning gas, a nuclear fire ball held together by gravity. Today we know how hydrogen is transformed into helium under enormous heat and pressure, and how that nuclear energy warms our earth.
But please look deeper. For science has revealed, in the sun and throughout the cosmos, a God of far greater power and glory. Why does gravity exist? Why is the strength of the gravitational force fine-tuned to astonishing precision, like picking one marble out of a pile of marbles stretching to the nearest star? Why does anything exist? Who or what created this fine-tuned, staggeringly immense beauty of a universe? Who created time, who created space, who created all matter and energy, and who wove them into a spacetime governed by the elegant mathematical equations of general relativity?
Science has killed the Sun God. It is sad that many stop there, decide all religious belief is primitive, and are blind to the wonders of the true God. “Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” Romans 1:22
Please spread the word. Science reveals the true God.
