The Universe is a weird place to just human eyes. A true Christian will see with "the eyes of the Psalms" and look in awe and wonder, knowing that the heavens are speaking about God "The Beautiful Pleiades" etc and see through it the One who put it there. The gap in perception of postmoderns comes from not being converted. What incredible "eyes" conversion gives Christians!

Postmodernity has neglected the 'big story' of Creator and creation and in my opinion that is where alienation starts. Space could be inconceivably vast, but we would still be safe in the everlasting arms.Alison Griffithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300516874593573205noreply@blogger.com
