On November 19, the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s “Origin of Species,” Way of the Master’s Kirk Cameron will be handing out 100 free copies of the book, complete with a 50-page introduction by Ray Comfort.

This introduction will include a timeline of Darwin’s life, thoughts on God by other “top scientists,” “Hitler’s undeniable connection to the theory,” and more content in hopes to turn students away from the “brainwashing of their students.”

NASA recently released images from the newly repaired Hubble Space Telescope, and the Christian world is in awe.

John Piper, Between Two Worlds and Al Mohler all linked to the page or offered commentary on the telescope’s stunning images of deep space this week, telling their readers to look at their Creator rather than just marveling at the beauty of the Creation itself.

“The cosmos does reveal the glory of the Creator — indeed it is inevitably so,” Mohler said.  ” The heavens — and Hubble — are telling the glory of God.  He who has eyes to see, let him see.”

While it does not surprise me that the images are capturing evangelical hearts, I think it surprises me just a little that more Christians are not inspired to look at Creation a little closer.  Romans 1:20 says, “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made.”  We need more Christian scientists, and not merely ones out to prove a young-earth creationist view, but Christian scientists who worship God by studying the things that have been made.

Biology, astronomy, geology, physics–all of these are ways that, according to Scripture, God has revealed Himself.  Should we not take a closer view at what God has shown us?  Let us lay aside our presuppositions and let the stars do the talking.  After all, they are groaning to be free like us.
