If you haven’t seen Nasa’s picture of the Helix Nebula check it out:

The image depicts the so-called Helix Nebula, described by astronomers as “a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases.” At its center is dying, Sun-like star which has ejected masses of dust and gas to form tentacle-like filaments stretching toward an outer rim composed of the same material. The Sun itself may look like this in several billion years.

This image was NASA’s “Astronomy Picture of the Day” for 10 May 2003. The picture’s “Eye of God” appellation appears to have been a title coined by an admirer of the photo due to the nebula’s resemblance to a human eye, not something designated by NASA. (snopes.com)

The scientific standpoint is amazing and wonderous and is so interesting to learn.

But from what the picture looks like, I can’t help but be in awe of faith too.

And as it is, science only goes so far, but God will always be.
