Programming power.

The orbiting Hubble telescope was pointed at one portion of space. It was like holding a tiny lens the size of a grain of sand at arm’s length, and looking through it. Over time, the light that came through the lens showed that there were countless galaxies in the direction it was pointing.

By one implication, no matter what direction it was pointed, a similar number of galaxies may be inferred.

One interpretation is “The cosmos is so big that no God could have produced it.”

Catholic Fundamentalists have a different idea. “The Programmer programmed vast programs, some of which are replicating. His Program has no boundaries that He has not written.”

He programmed men in such a way that we could interpret every part of His Program that we discovered in two ways. We can decide to think: “Things are so vast and complicated that they must have appeared over billions of years.” Or, we can think, “The Programmer, to provide each generation with free will, programmed things for us to see, no matter where we looked.”

We can choose to see all as a naturally occurring event or as a result of His Program. We know what our latest choicees were.

We must choose carefully. The eternal fate of our immortal soul depends on which approach we take.

P. S. To be sure we’re considering all the angles, we have to admit that it’s possible that God programmed whatever light would go through the Hubble by only programming the light sources that He, with His infinite knowledge, knew that the Hubble would receive.
