My son in law’s favorite verse is Proverbs 25.2 which says, “[it is the] glory of God to cause the hiding of a thing; and [the] glory of kings to search [for the] thing.”
God created a vast universe, and I argue, he designed, engineered, and created from, at the very least, the sub-quantum level. If we admit to the kind of person that is capable of such and recognize how that is near infinitely beyond both our imaginings and abilities then you recognize what Solomon is saying. It seems that Solomon recognized the greatness of God and also that God made man to want to investigate and search for his ways. Notice that the verse did not say “find or discover”! As many have noted in the things of man, many times it is the quest and journey that is more than the arriving and finding. Some things we have discovered but I think that most will admit we are nibbling at the edges! But what nibblings!
This blog is dedicated to such a quest and discussion. There are varying degrees of a person’s pursuing such a quest, such treasures of “how he did it” that involve looking at both the evidence he lays out before all men in the world around us and the universe above us and also in the text of the Word he gave us as direct communication and revelation.
When doing either you can rely on the work of others that lays out their discoveries. For the text this involves reading translations of the Bible; for the world and universe this involves accessing someone else’s work in the multiplicity of the sciences. Happy is the one who can do some of the investigations on their own either by making their own translations and discoveries in one or all three of the biblical languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek) and/or making their own scientific investigations and discoveries in one or many fields (astronomy, biology, etc.).
As much as possible (but not always) I will be making my own translations (as above with Pr. 25.2) and providing my own photographs to make the point or observation that I will be writing about. To that end I have provided my own translation and here are my earliest photographs of a few of our solar system neighbors.
