"The Pope has asked a team of top astronomers to try to find 'the fingerprints of God' amid the chaos of the cosmos," writes Jonathan Leake.

The Vatican is helping construct one of the earth's most powerful observatories, on Mount Graham in Arizona. The purpose is to find star systems and planets capable of supporting life as we know it.

Although intricate and lawful patterns common to the material universe should direct our minds to God (Psalm 19:1-7; Romans 1:19-20), the fingerprints of our Creator are also to be found nearer at hand—in His Word, the Holy Bible. (Source: The Sunday Times [London].)
