In answering a comment on Facebook about an asteroid with a moon, a celestial rarity which I posted yesterday, which astronomers have recently observed, it reactivated a question that I have been silently pondering for quite some time.
That question is: what force or energy, moves or powers: asteroids, planets, stars, comets, meteors, galaxies, pulsars, and moons, in the first place?
The do not appear to have any means of locomotion or ignition; yet, inexorably, continuously, mathematically with precision, they execute their rounds?
What is this? How and why so?
Being a preacher, it is easy for me to just say "God" and move on. One can say that or do that with respect to anything and everything; in which case, there would be no: space travel, airplanes, submarines, cellphones, television, radio, electricity, sciences, man-made fire or language either!
Is "God" the only answer? Has science no answer?
What say you? I would really like to know!
