Q&A

Recently when having an informal bible study with a friend, we had a discussion about man& #39;s attempts to explore space, and how that fits with what the bible tells us the current, fallen state of man and space for that matter.

Should we be poking around
" out there "?

It& #39;s hard not to look up at the stars and wonder in awe of God, and His creation.

What are your thoughts on this?

Answer to Question
I personally can& #39;t see any Biblical prohibition against space exploration.

" The heavens declare the glory of God ; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they displayed knowledge. "
( Psalm 19:1-2 )

This been the case, it seems likely that a believer would expect to learn more about God through the study of outer space, as you& #39;ve indicated.
