Space and Time

By Michael Carroll, Caroline Carroll and Travis King

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth didn't have any shape. And it was empty. -Genesis 1:1-2 (NIrV) In Space & Time, kids get a taste of these two concepts and how they are related. From spinning planets, glowing comets, burning stars, and pinwheeling galaxies, to a discussion about bowling balls on a trampoline (that explains how space and time warp)-and much, much more-scientifically accurate concepts are discussed in kid-friendly language. Add drawings, photos, and fun facts, and young scientists see the awesome and intricate plan God had in mind when he created the heavens and earth.
