Psalms 19:1-14 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Thank you for sharing that.

That's my favorite Psalm, and I have it framed and on my wall here.

Notice how it points to God's creation in vss 1-6, then suddenly switches to God's Word in vss 7-14?

Both are a form of the Gospel, as God is revealed in two major ways:
  1. Generally by nature.
  2. Specifically by His Word.

Is that why I'm the only one here (as far as I know so far) who will take a stand against the Pluto vote?

If it makes you feel any better AV, I'll take a stand with you guys on the Pluto vote too.

Kind of makes your point moot then. So I guess I'll go back to not caring one way or the other.

I do notice that almost every science article that gets posted here gets an automatic nod of the head, despite the fact that I'm sure it went through some rigorous peer review.

But I like to use Pluto as my example, since it now comes with its own verb.

Dunno.

I have a feeling a lot of this stuff that shows up in Scientific Americant and/or Poopular Science is there because of what's called the Perish or Publish Principle.
