Exploring Mars, Embracing God’s Creation: A Pastor’s Reflection on Science, Scripture, and Salvation

As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I marvel at God’s creation through space exploration, from NASA’s Mars rovers to the Space Shuttle’s legacy. Yet, as a young Earth creationist, I reject carbon dating’s flawed billions-of-years claims, affirming a 6,000–10,000-year-old universe per Genesis. Mars’ Jezero Crater, possibly once a lake, declares God’s glory, not alien life. Humanity, one race from Adam and Eve, is Earth’s focus. I pray Elon Musk, via SpaceX, finds Christ, his influence glorifying the Creator. Let Mars and the cosmos point us to Jesus (Romans 1:20, Psalm 8:9).
