We
have heard some amazing scientists’ space exploration stories this year. Among
other things, I had caught glimpses about the Red Rover and Mars tales on TV
before. But it is always even more delightful to learn of scientists who love
and seek God.
So
imagine my surprise recently as I discovered a worshipper in our row at a Perth
church Sunday Service was none other Dr Roger Wiens, the ChemCam & SuperCam
Principal Investigator. He is also known as the author of Red Rover: Inside the Story of Robotic Space Exploration, from Genesis
to the Mars Rover Curiosity. To God’s glory!
Dr
Wiens was in attendance at a Hillsong Perth Service enroute to the Pilbara region as we learnt from him that particular
Pilbara fossils have something to tell or teach us about Mars.
For
those keen on things space-exploration, the book mentioned is published by
Amazon, here are some links:
And
There
are interesting reviews on Dr Wiens Red Rover publication the Washington Post,
and also a Kirkus Review.

And
to finish on things Christianity and science, there is another interesting web
link to Dr Roger Wiens interviewed about how science sits with religion. Happy reading folk.
