GOD AND THE ASTRONOMERS - Robert A Ginskey - December 1978

Robert A Ginskey

The universe began with a big bang, according to modern science. But the origin and ultimate fate of that primordial cosmic egg remains an embarrassing riddle that has brought astronomers-unexpectedly and a bit reluctantly - straight into the problem of the existence of a Creator God. Albert Einstein once observed that "the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible." Not everyone would agree with that statement, for, although man has been fascinated by the grandeur and mystery of the universe for many millennia, its ultimate size, structure, and origin have remained an intriguing but unsolved riddle. Historically, it seems that every culture has created a myth to explain the nature of the cosmos. The Greeks intertwined the creation of the world with the whims and family disputes of the gods. But our more sophisticated civilization may also have generated some myths of its own, impelled by our conviction that physical laws are universal and our hope that the universe, on a grand scale, is fundamentally simple and, as Einstein believed, comprehensible. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
