I wish there wasn't so much light pollution around here. I miss looking at the night sky. The best place (my opinion) to observe the majesty of the heavens is on a clear winter night in Alaska. It's usually cold, enough that you feel chills beneath your parka, and the air bites your ears. But the night sky is so vivid; thousands more stars, and every one more brilliant than anything you've ever seen before. There is no comparison. And then there are the Northern Lights. . .waves of neon lights that roll across the sky like the breath of Aurora, the Greek goddess of dawn.
The beauty found within this universe is astounding. What is even more amazing, is that it is a system that works. The universe goes through endless cycles of creation and destruction, and somehow, out of all that, life is born.
It works too well to be coincidence.
Yea, and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the Earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator. ~Alma 30:44
