Nate,

Glad to know you're thinking about such things.

God created us as curious human beings. I think he wants us to investigate our world and discover the beauties of his creation. Of course, he wants us to do this so that we can receive his blessings and give him glory. Whenever humans seek to glorify themselves or to defy God, they sin. Whatever discoveries we make must be put under the light of God's word. God told us that he created the world in six 24-hour days. Any discovery must match that truth or we really haven't found the truth.

And remember, God wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of his truth (1 Timothy 2:4).

God bless.
