Did God Make the Planets?

Have you ever been asked a question that makes you smile? Sometimes, the best questions come from the mouth of a child. Sheer innocence and curiosity propelling the boundaries of inquisitiveness. Now imagine being asked that question in a classroom in the upper northeast part of England in a small town blanketed by verdant hills and rolling rivers.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to talk to 90 students near Durham, England about the importance of science and space. Soon after I entered the classroom with walls covered by drawings of planets and stars, 7 year old students obediently marched into the room and stood in rows until their teachers told them to sit down. Some had chairs, others had the floor. With military precision they quickly took their places. I immediately bonded to my new audience. Their wide smiles and eyes filled with wonder warmed my heart.
