Transcript

Our universe is filled with trillions of stars arranged into galaxies. Now its amazing that the Bible describes their creation with just the phrase: “He made the stars also.”

One type of galaxy is the “spiral galaxy.” Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral. It is made of 200 billion stars.

Now, the inside stars rotate faster than the outside stars that form the “arms” of the spiral. Follow this: this uneven rotation should make the spiral arms disappear after just a few rotations. Yet we still see them all throughout the universe.

This is only a problem if you believe in billions of years. But when we start with God’s Word, God created spiral galaxies thousands of years ago.
