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).

The Spark of Life: A Glimmer of God’s Creation

Discover the zinc spark—a burst of light at fertilization, revealing God’s intricate design. Science shows zinc ions signal life’s start, seen via fluorescent probes. Scripture echoes this: “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind” (John 1:4). As Galileo said, “Science tells us how the heavens go; the Bible tells us how to go to heaven.” Follow the science, and find God’s handiwork. This miracle of life, both biochemical and divine, deepens our awe. Read more about how science and faith illuminate God’s creation!
