A Hint from Space.

From 3.7 billion miles away, it shows up smaller than the size of a pixel. The famous photograph Pale Blue Dot was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe on February 14, 1990. It’s a picture of the earth set against the vastness of space. Voyager 1 had finished its primary mission and, as it was leaving the solar system, turned its camera around and took one last picture.
Carl Sagan, the famous American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and agnostic, shared his reflections on that dot. He stated in a speech at Cornell University, “Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity—in all this vastness—there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us.”
On the contrary, the Bible describes a God who is not distant or indifferent. He is not only a careful planner, but He has deep concern for His creation. God created people to freely choose to be in relationship to Himself or to reject it. (See Joshua 24:15.)
Each member of the Godhead was personally involved in Creation. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Genesis 1:1, 2).
The New Testament describes both the Father and the Son involved in Creation. “God … has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds” (Hebrews 1:1, 2).
Many have perceived God as an uninvolved cosmic force, either as the laws that govern the universe or somehow the essence of all things. But the Bible reveals to us One who is intimately connected to those inhabiting this speck of dust in the vastness of space. “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (v. 14).
