In recent days we’ve watched the NASA Artemis II mission that successfully sent four astronauts around the dark side of the moon. Human beings have now traveled a greater distance from the earth than ever before in history. Period. We’re talking about a distance greater by thousands of miles.

As we watched the mission unfold, it was interesting to note the language coming from the astronauts—language filled with wonder that at least implies a creator.

And then we saw the photographs—new, high-quality images of earth in our own time. It had been more than 50 years since the first photographs.

I don’t know how a person can look these images and think, “What an interesting cosmic accident.” Of course, we know: There are many scientists absolutely determined to believe it so, consistent with a naturalistic understanding of the entire universe.

But here’s the thing worth highlighting: It is very difficult to look at these images and say, “What a beautiful accident.”

The entire picture points to a creator. It points to God. Remember that.
