Quivering with excitement professor Norna Robertson announced that, at last, the predictions of Einstein, made 90 years ago, have been verified: namely that gravity moves in waves across the universe.
Apparently, in a world far away and at a time billion years before any of us were born, two black holes collided. The shock waves cause by this collision have just reached our planet, detected by Atomic ears turned towards the sky somewhere in the Atacama desert.
Wow! Fancy that! According to the Professor of Astro-Physics at Harvard University, we now have the sound track to go with our movie picture of the Cosmos.
But since this piece of information has cost billions of dollars and years of scientific sleuth work to discover why did someone not simply point the research team to Psalm 19? Which reads:
"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night knowledge.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
Their poetry has gone out through all the earth and their words unto the end of the earth."
What the boffins have spent their entire lives to discover is A.B.C. to the simplest of believers in the story of Creation.
Folks, it is just so much easier to believe in God... and a lot cheaper too.
Jubilate.
