Our Fascination with Mars Part 1

<p style="margin:10px 0px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;color:#241e12;font-family:'aktiv-grotesk', sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-line;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;">As long as we have been observing the heavens, we have known of the immortal wandering stars of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. What is it about these "planets" that fascinate us so? Why do we spend billions of dollars sending robotic probes and satellites to the surface of a distant, lifeless, and desert wilderness? </p> <p style="margin:10px 0px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;color:#241e12;font-family:'aktiv-grotesk', sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-line;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;">From the safety of our armchairs, Dan and Wayne discuss our fascination with the red planet, and the various space exploration missions to Mars from multiple nations.  The name "Mars" is a reference to the god of war in ancient Greece. We hope you'll join us for our adventure to the vermillion wanderer as we explore its fascinating features and ponder how we see Mars as the creation of God's "fingers" (Psalm 8) ultimately a manifestation of the glory of God in Christ! </p> <p style="margin:10px 0px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;color:#241e12;font-family:'aktiv-grotesk', sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-line;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;">Links for further Martian Exploration: </p> <p style="margin:10px 0px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;color:#241e12;font-family:'aktiv-grotesk', sans-serif;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-line;word-spacing:0px;background-color:#ffffff;">See Wayne's notes on missions to Mars: <a href='https://creationanswers.net/goodies/MarsMissions&TheRedPlanet.pd
