Telescopes certainly have opened our eyes to the wonders of the heavens. For Christians images from the deepest regions of the universe only serve to confirm what David in the 19th Psalm declares. The heavens are telling of the glory of God and the skies proclaim His handiwork.
But the big institutional astronomical organizations that design and build modern sophisticated telescopes seemed to have lost this particular focus. While the lenses and mirrors reveal the wonders of the cosmos in vivid details, many ironically can no longer see how it all connects to the glory of God. Here on part two Wayne and Dan chat about some of the bigger telescope discoveries and the implications of having your lenses and mirrors out of whack. So come and refocus with us! Soli Deo Gloria!
