In May 2019, an international team of astronomers released one of the most important photographs in history. For 16 years, the Hubble Space Telescope surveyed a pinpoint of outer space previously believed to be relatively empty. When 7500 separate images were assembled into a comprehensive mosaic, they discovered at least 265,000 galaxies in an area of sky so small it can be covered by a fingertip held at arm’s length.

A Perfect Solar Eclipse

A total eclipse of the sun is a mysteriously beautiful display of God’s design and purpose. Explore the science and significance of one of the most remarkable wonders in the universe.

A Perfect Solar Eclipse
Big Universe Bigger God

Take a journey from Earth to the edge of the observable universe—in seven unforgettable minutes. Spectacular computer animation will transport you 45 billion light years to discover glimpses of God’s creative power and divine attributes as revealed through the wonders of the cosmos he once spoke into existence.

God and the Astronomer

In 1929, astronomer Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding. This discovery strongly implied that the cosmos had a beginning in the finite past. Robert Jastrow, founding director of NASA’s Goddard Space Institute, reflects on how contemporary evidence—when objectively viewed—points to the existence of a supernatural Creator.

How many Stars

The question is timeless. Pondered, throughout history, by human beings of every culture, age, and nationality: how many stars are there in the universe? This fascinating film explores worlds gigantic and microscopic to reveal answers that challenge our perceptions of creation. Travel with us through galaxies and grains of sand; molecules and atoms, to count the stars and marvel at all that God has made.

Heavenly Fire

The Auroras (or Northern and Southern Lights) rank among the seven greatest natural wonders in the world. For millennia, they have captured the imaginations of anyone who has witnessed their ethereal beauty in the polar skies. HEAVENLY FIRE: The Mystery of the Auroras is an unforgettable exploration of why these incredible light shows occur, and what they reveal about God.

The Evidence of Cosmology

Lee Strobel’s rejection of God was also based on the belief that the universe was nothing more than the product of random processes and chemical evolution. His search for truth led him to the work of astronomer Edwin Hubble and some of the greatest discoveries in the history of science.

The Habitable Planet

Lee Strobel’s journey through a universe finely tuned for life inevitably led him home–to Earth, the blue jewel of our solar system. There he encountered another array of critically balanced conditions essential to human existence and all life on our planet.

The Habitable Planet

  1. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
  2. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
  3. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
  4. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
  5. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
  6. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
