Enceladus

Well aren't science and technology wonderful? Just look at that first image of Saturn's fourth-largest moon Enceladus. (These photos are courtesy of New York Times.) I think the detail is terrific. Just look at those faint blue lines, and those craters seem to be a lot like the craters of our moon. Now the scientists have evidence of liquid water, because they have seen "plumes of icy crystals shooting off the surface." So this makes this moon a candidate for study in the search for LIFE in our solar system. Now look at the thermal image. NASA's Cassini spacecraft has captured this shot which has been "enhanced." (By the way, I would like to be able to enhance some images on my computer like Gov't agencies do on TV with seemingly little effort.) But I digress. One can see something unusual around the moon's south pole. The scientists say this is indicating the icy plumes. Its all very interesting, but I am amused when I hear people say, "We may not be alone!" Well, we are not alone. God is with us. God sent His Son to this earth (not to some other body in our solar system) and has revealed Himself to us. Jesus lived among men and died on the cross for our sin, but didn't stay buried, but rose victorious and has ascended to the Father and sits on His right hand and He is praying for us. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentence. After repentence we accept Christ's sacrificial and substitutional death for our sin, and He becomes our Saviour and Redeemer. No, we are not alone. It doesn't matter if there is life on Eceladus. God created the whole universe, and He is big enough to take care of all of His creation. It is also odd that there are some who have an intense desire to know if there is intelligent life somewhere out there, (and I know we humans are a curious type) but these same people don't even take the time to get to know there next-door neighbor. Things that make you go, HMmmmm...
