Psalms 19:1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.
So much is this the case that it has been well said that "an undevout astronomer is mad." There are such traces of the Infinite and the Omnipotent in the stars, and especially the more thoroughly they are studied, and the science of mathematics is brought to bear upon them, in order, in some degree, to guess at the incalculable distances and mighty weights of the starry orbs, that a man must perceive in them traces of the divine handiwork if he is only willing to do so: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork."
