Sun and Moon

They both knew why they were here
and what they were designed to do.

They both were created to provide light.                                                                                                                     
One, the sun, was to provide the most light

and the other, the moon, was to provide the
lesser light. So the sun was assigned the day,

and the moon was ordered to light up the night.
The two of them would serve the needs of the earth,

providing seasons and keeping the earth with just the right                                                                    
temperature for survival. This was accomplished by placing                                                                                  

the moon some 240 thousand miles from the earth and the sun                                                                     
93 million miles from our planet. Our planet earth is the third of eight                                                           

planets from the sun after Venus and Mercury. Venus and the earth are similar                                                 
in both size and gravity. The earth has one moon, and Jupiter has more than 

67 moons. There are more than 200 moons in our solar system and Saturn has 82 of them. There is only one sun in the solar system and its gravity holds 

the solar system together keeping everything in its orbit. Without the sun and moon, life in any form would not exist on planet earth.  Everything 

in the solar system has been set in motion by God, and without His design and dictates, everything would spin out of control into total chaos and into eternal 

oblivion. The sun and moon are not accidents but rather, like everything that exists are created, designed, and purposed by Intelligent Design.
