Chapter 18

Chapter 18 discusses a lot of the different aspects of outer space, especially most of Hubble's discoveries. The chapter also discusses how the first other galaxies were discovered through the arrangement of different colored lights, or a rainbow spectrum. Using that new technology they were also able to discover that the universe is steadily expanding, that the other galaxies were not just moving away from us. Which led to the conclusion that at some point the universe was much much smaller, which then led to the big bang theory.
In more recent research scientists began to try to listen to space, which worked, and then they decided to look for actual evidence of the big bang-residual noise. Which they eventually did find, along with light evidence. I agree with the authors thoughts that the big bang theory could be a great thing for both scientist and theologists. While it is a great discovery scientifically it could also be a great push in support for God. As the author said, a God who in one shot created a universe that is endlessly growing and changing, a very impressive feat.
