THE SUPERMOON

A couple of weeks ago we witnessed a “supermoon” that was the closest one to Earth in the moon’s elliptical orbit since January 26, 1948, and won’t be this close again until November 25, 2034. Technically they’re called Perigee Full Moons, and they occur several times a year, though they don’t come as close as the latest one. This event was detailed in The Review on November 15^th.

It’s very interesting to me that we can know exactly when these events will occur, down to the day even 18 years into the future. How is this possible? It’s because we live in an orderly solar system and a well-designed universe. Our Creator made the Earth, as well as the sun and moon and planets – in all the galaxies – like a finely-tuned timepiece, but on a gigantic scale.

There are some, as we know, that believe this happened by accident or as the result of a massive explosive bang. [But with nobody alive to hear, did it really make a sound?] To me the illogical chance of that occurring with the systematic results we witness is an impossibility. Try as one might, no human explanation can account for the beautiful cosmos that has been created.

Thankfully our fantastic, powerful, ingenious Creator has plainly spelled out the history of the world, as well as its future, in both His natural and written revelation to all men everywhere. We can choose to study and learn from His Word, or ignore it and believe the men who, because of unbelief, dream up their own explanations for the supermoons.
