Read this tonight in one of my readings for class, and I just had to share it. So clearly visible, yet I had never thought of it. This is from Stuart Burgess, a mechanical engineer and professor.
"The Solar System is positioned about two-thirds of the way out from the centre of the Galaxy, which is far enough away from the galactic bulge to keep the night sky dark...if the Earth were located in the galactic bulge, the night sky would be 'ablaze' with light...Big Bang cosmologists are fully aware that the Earth has an ideal location. However, this remarkable fact is not considered to be significant because secular astronomers assume that the Earth's position was determined by chance...
If the stars were uniformly spaced with the same distance between each one, there would be no distinctive star patterns in the sky and the sky would look monotonous in every direction. However, the actual spacing is very non-uniform and this produces varied and beautiful patterns in the sky such as the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades...
The book of Job describes how God has 'adorned the heavens 'By His Spirit' (Job 26:13). Modern telescopes have revealed the astonishing degree to which God has indeed adorned the heavens with beauty. When we look up at the stars and galaxies with powerful telescopes, there are countless beautiful colours, shapes and patterns to behold."
