Can a physicist visualize an electron? The electron is materially inconceivable and yet, it is so perfectly known through its effects that we use it to illuminate our cities, guide our airlines through the night skies and take the most accurate measurements. What strange rationale makes some physicists accept the inconceivable electrons as real while refusing to accept the reality of a Designer on the ground that they cannot conceive Him?

There is beauty in space, and it is orderly. There is no weather, and there is regularity. It is predictable.

If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly.
