The majesty of the heavens definitely declare the glory of God. Ever since high school, I've been interested in astronomy, but God had dragged me into different directions, usually kicking and screaming. Now that my children are older, I can play a little catchup and see if I can be used by God in "Taking Back Astronomy".

Books read:

10-20-10: Taking Back Astronomy by Dr. Jason Lisle
12-04-10: Science 101: Cosmology 101 by Kristine M. Larsen
12-14-10: The Lie: Evolution by Ken Ham

Currently reading:

Realm of the Universe, 3rd Edition by George O. Abell
Discerning Truth by Dr. Jason Lisle

To Read list

Dismantling the Big Bang by Alex Williams and Dr. John Hartnett
Starlight, Time and the New Physics by Dr. John Hartnett
In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation... by Walt Brown
The Genesis Flood by Dr. Henry Morris & Dr. John Whitcomb

Random Thought
Gould's "Non-overlapping magisteria" (NOMA) - Atheism's attempt to tell Christians to "bug off". Fortunately, we don't have to listen to him. =^)
