(It's a video ''Creation Calls'' by Brian Doerksen. I immediately followed video with quote by Abraham Lincoln and then immediately began to read from the entire chapter of Genesis 1)
Abraham Lincoln once said: ''I never behold (the heavens filled with stars) that I do not feel I am looking in the face of God. I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up, into the heavens and say there is no God.''

Bit the Bible is actually ''Theo-centric'' (Theo - ''God'')
It's centered on God.
Hebrews 1:10-12 says: ''In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of yo ...
