Psalm, Chapter 19
The Works and the Word of God.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
19 The heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their expanse declares the work of His hands.
- The universe is estimated to be than 100 billion light years in diameter
- It is estimated that it is growing by 3,000 feet per second
- There are more than 100 thousand million starts in galaxy
- There are potentially a trillion galaxies, imagine how many stars that is
- One estimate is 70 sextillion stars (70 followed by 22 zeros)
- There are more stars in the sky than grains of sand on earth
- The largest observable universe is the elliptical galaxy IC 1101, it has 100 trillion stars and is 6 million light years in diameter. By comparison, the milky way has a mere 100 billion stars and is 100,000 light years in diameter.
- When you look up into the sky, you are looking back in time (light from hundreds, thousands and billions of years ago)
- 95% of the universe is invisible
- Job 9:9-10 9 Who makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south;
10 Who does great things, [a]unfathomable,
And wondrous works without number.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
- In the day, sunlight makes it possible for us to see
- We use words to describe what we see
o The wonderful, amazing, works of God
o Yet, the universe itself is transmitting sounds continuously
- And night to night reveals knowledge
o Night to night implies a period of time
o As we study the stars in the sky overtime we can recognize patterns
o It the mathematical exactness of these patterns that allows to record and recognize these patters (which become knowledge)
