And There It Is!

Byhenry July 14, 2015

I’ve been fascinated by Pluto since I found out it existed way, way back in prehistoric times.

So here it is. I’m looking forward to closer images after the flyby.

SNEAK PEEK of gorgeous Pluto! The dwarf planet has sent a love note back to Earth via our New Horizons spacecraft, which has traveled more than 9 years and 3+ billion miles. This is the last and most detailed image of Pluto sent to Earth before the moment of closest approach – 7:49 a.m. EDT today. This same image will be released and discussed at 8 a.m. EDT today. Watch our briefing live on NASA Television at: http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv The high res pic will be posted on the web at: http://www.nasa.gov. This stunning image of the dwarf planet was captured from New Horizons at about 4 p.m. EDT on July 13, about 16 hours before the moment of closest approach. The spacecraft was 476,000 miles (766,000 kilometers) from the surface. Image Credit: NASA #nasa #pluto #plutoflyby #newhorizons #solarsystem #nasabeyond #science

Some very interesting points. It’s only fair that Herold Weiss, whose book Creation in Scripture I publish, would disagree with some of John Walton’s views, while affirming the broader ideas about how to read an ancient text. (HT: Allan R. Bevere)

Byhenry March 13, 2015
Hanz Gutierrez has reviewed Creation in Scripture by Herold Weiss on the Spectrum Magazine web site. Spectrum is published by the Association of Adventist Forums.

Why Christians Should Embrace Science
Byhenry November 7, 2018
First, of course, we should ask why anyone should embrace science*. It’s not because: Science is perfect Scientists are without biases and always produce objective truth The results of science are never in error Science can decide everything for us I’m reminded of the quote, “The perfect is the enemy of the good.” Frequently people…

Science and Replication (or not)
Byhenry May 12, 2016

Or not, of course. The correlation is pretty clear. The causation is somewhat less so. It could be that all…
