Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast for Thursday, April 7th, 2022.

I'm Chris Elkins with the Denison Forum, narrating today's article by Dr. Jim Denison.

My great aunts, Daisy and Clela, were convinced Americans never went to the moon.

They died many years ago,

believing that the television coverage of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon in 1969 was staged,

probably on the sand dunes in Arizona. When I asked them about moon rocks I had seen in a museum,

they replied, how do you know they were from the moon? I'm guessing they would not have been candidates for an unusual auction next week.

The Bonham Space History Sale will offer lunar dust collected by Armstrong from the Apollo 11 mission.

You can own your own tiny souvenir from the moon for a mere $800,000 to $1.2 million.

I have no way to estimate the physical comparison of this dust to the moon from which it came. But I can tell you that our moon

is 27% the size of our planet, and yet our planet is so small that 1.3 million Earths can fit inside

our sun. While our sun contains 99.86% of the mass in our solar system, it is just one of

200 billion stars in our galaxy.

Astrophysicists estimate that our galaxy is just one of between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies in the universe.

And according to Isaiah 4012, the God who made all of that measures it in the palm of his hand.

Scientists recently designed a radio message to be beamed into deep space and reveals

Earth's location. They hope it will be received and understood by an intelligent alien civilization.

This despite Stephen Hawking's warning in 2015 that aliens could be vastly more

powerful than us and may not see us any more valuable than we see bacteria. As a result, he advised

that if we receive a signal from another planet, we should be wary of answering

back. Our planet has, in fact, received a message from beyond ourselves, more than a signal,

it is an entire book, written by the God of the universe. Since he is omnibenevident, omniscient, and omnipotent,
