When God ...(This brought to mind a question for me. When God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as many as the stars, do you think this was merely a figurative statement, as in, "See, there's too many to count, same for your descendants", or do you think this was a literal statement, and there really will eventually be the same number of descendants of Abraham as there are stars in the sky?)<BR/><BR/>I couldn't find one about the stars in the sky but I did locate the one about the "sand in the sea".<BR/>Genesis 32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. KJV Zondervan<BR/><BR/>It's comparing the count of people to the count of sand, it simply can't be done.<BR/>Thanks for the good, as usual, post.Orahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678885638385553043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-14042652076085709932007-06-28T11:01:00.000-04:002007-06-28T11:01:00.000-04:00Thank you for posting about this museum.

(I know, it's so sad.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, this has given us a great idea that we're going to be using this summer.

I heard about the museum and am interested in going with the fam sometime, but it would be a bit of a drive for us (we're in TN). <BR/><BR/>I agree that God probably created all of the stars and planets, not just for his own pleasure, to show us how vast and unfathomable our God is. And , yet, He loves each of us personally and individually. Like Matthew West puts it, God wants to tell us that he "love[s] you more than the sun and the stars that I taught how to shine. You are mine and you shine for me too..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-44146512753370814342007-06-19T08:32:00.000-04:002007-06-19T08:32:00.000-04:00Hi, Kate --I went to the Holy Land Experience abou...Hi, Kate --<BR/><BR/>I went to the Holy Land Experience about three years ago, and I actually really loved it! It was a lot bigger than the Creation Museum, the museum is all just one building, whereas there it was more like an entire park. <BR/><BR/>Good catch on that the stars will be destroyed -- that's actually my mistake and not Alcorn's, I believe his idea was that God would CREATE all these planets for us, and I just jumped in with my own thoughts after seeing the planetarium show of, well maybe that's why all those are out there. Obviously not, since they won't be there anymore!! So back to my initial question -- WHY then did He create all that? Perhaps just to show us the vastness of creation, to convince those who remain open that there really IS a very amazing God who designed all of this...<BR/><BR/>I don't know how old your kids are, but I'm hoping to take Little Girl in about six weeks to the museum, if all works out, and will definitely be posting on THAT experience, as well. She will be 5 by then, so that will give an idea as to how much interest there is for a child of that age, anyway.Prairie Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470135432748627058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-47419887691514004762007-06-18T21:21:00.000-04:002007-06-18T21:21:00.000-04:00I was glad to come across this blog. I have been ...I was glad to come across this blog. I have been curious about the Creation Museum. We might take our kids there later this fall. We went to the Holyland Experience in Orlando this spring and were shocked by the admission price. There was just one exhibit there that I really was interested in. The Creation Museum seems like it might be a better deal in terms of what it has to offer.<BR/><BR/>As for Randy Alcorn's thoughts about heaven. That just doesn't seem correct to me as Isaiah writes in Isaiah 34:4:<BR/><BR/>"All the stars of the heavens will be dissolved and the sky rolled up like a scroll; all the starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig tree." <BR/><BR/>Jeannie Fulbright wrote a very simple read on astronomy that I used with my kids this year for school. The title is <I>Exploring Creation With Astronomy</I>. I learned as much as the kids did and was glad for the Biblical perspective she brought to her work. <BR/><BR/>KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664863153865293522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-9732116951909756672007-06-16T21:04:00.000-04:002007-06-16T21:04:00.000-04:00Thank you SO much for posting about this!

My husband is Mr Science-guy and he really wants to visit! <BR/><BR/>We probably won't visit for a while, since our son is only one, so I'm so excited to hear your perspective.<BR/><BR/>As to your question about why God made the universe so immense, I have no idea. I've often wondered about some of the Discovery Channel shows where there are these remote places with no human life, but full of animals and plants and natural beauty. Even just a gorgeous flower blooming somewhere in the middle of a forest that no person will ever happen across... <BR/><BR/>I wonder how many amazing things there are on our planet and universe that only God enjoys, at least for now. Kind of neat!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for sharing!kittyhoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03413419370677881366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875449047910840041.post-82556491703876146252007-06-16T09:08:00.000-04:002007-06-16T09:08:00.000-04:00We are going next week and I just can't wait!
