In one of the YouTube videos, Neil deGrasse Tyson shares his observation that humans, unlike most animals, sleep on their backs, naturally facing the sky. This position may have fostered a deep connection with the heavens. However, from a Christian perspective, this curiosity and upward gaze might have originated with Adam and Eve, who looked to the sky, remembering God's love. This practice of looking skyward started as prayer and remembrance, gradually becoming a lost tradition.
Genesis 1:16-18 - "God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good."
This scripture aligns with humans' connection to the night sky. It emphasizes God's creation of the celestial bodies and their purpose to light and govern our world. It suggests that our fascination with the sky is not just biological, as Tyson proposes, but also spiritual, a remembrance of God's creation and love.
