Its countless stars and vast expanses fill us with awe and wonder about the cosmos and its mysteries. It has inspired many to look up at night and witness numerous objects moving in space at incredible speeds. Earth orbitsthe sun at 77,000 miles per hour (mph), while the sun and its solar system travel through space at about 500,000 mph. The Milky Way galaxy, where we live, spins at 1,100,000 mph as it careens through space. And yet,
Threads of Wonder: Discovering God’s Handiwork in the Spider
By Tom DeRosa, Executive Director of CSI. Why do spiders exist? The little, tiny creatures that entomologists study and master are filled with so many surprises that make us ponder. They possess amazing features that can't be matched. These include their ability to defy gravity with their wings, their rapid population growth, and their complete body transformations from larva to pupa and then to adult. Insects make up over 75 to 80% of all species in the animal kingdom. It's estimated that right now,
