## Resource

Recently, cosmologist Dr. Sean Carroll suggested that the amount of galaxies in our universe is not something we would expect if God created the universe.But how does Dr. Carroll know what we should expect a God-created universe to look like? That's a question we explore on this month's episode of Good Heavens! Come and see! The thumbnail image of this month's episode is an enormous field of galaxies, thousands of them, released by NASA and the ESA last April. You can read more about this stunning image here. With the exception of the orbs of light with diffraction spikes (stars in our own Milky Way galaxy) every dot of light is a galaxy with tens or hundreds of billions of stars! (Psalm 19:1-6; Isaiah 40:26; Gen. 1:14-16). Watch the Alex O'Connor and Sean Carroll in conversation on YouTube.+Email us and let us know how you're enjoying the podcast! Psalm1968@gmail.com.
