The heavens have always fascinated humanity. From the naked-eye stargazers of antiquity to the powerful space telescopes of today, the cosmos inspires awe and inquiry. In recent decades, new telescopes — from the Hubble Space Telescope to the James Webb Space Telescope — have expanded our understanding of the universe’s origins. Observations of expansion and redshift support the Big Bang model, which many scientists believe describes the universe’s beginning. Yet Scripture long ago affirmed that God created the heavens and the earth.

By considering both science and the Bible, we see how the cosmos reveals God’s glory while also highlighting human limitations.
