The Invisible Star
God: The Invisible, Yet Visible Force
Just recently (2019) the first-ever photo was taken of a black hole, but to call it a photo is a bit misleading. As we view an image, we view light being reflected from the source into our eyes for processing. Black holes reflect no light. They are so massive that light cannot escape the pull of their gravity. In actuality, a photo of a black hole is a photo of its location and surroundings, yet despite the lack of photo evidence until now, their existence has long been universally accepted.
At the center of every galaxy lies a supermassive black hole, billions of times more massive than our sun. We know this by studying how things move and interact with one another — not by sight. Without black holes, things just don’t make sense.
God is much like a black hole — an invisible star.
We cannot see His face*. We have no photo evidence. There is no direct way to prove His existence, yet we can see Him. We see the radiation coming from Him. We can watch the world, and observe how things move and interact with one another. We get a glimpse of God when we gaze upon His creation and ponder the expanse of the universe. Without God, things just don’t make sense.
God may be invisible to the eye, but His presence is undeniable. God is the Invisible Star.
