The “Christians are anti-science rubes” line is getting old. Part 2 Meet Reid Wiseman, Commander of Artemis II. The man who just led the first crewed mission around the Moon since 1972. He’s not even “really a religious person,” by his own words. But when he stepped back onto the Navy ship after that historic flight and saw the chaplain’s cross on his collar, he broke down in tears. “When I got back on the ship… I saw the cross on his collar, and I just broke down in tears. It’s very hard to fully grasp what we just went through.” Think about that. You can orbit the Moon, stare back at the fragile blue marble from a quarter million miles away, and the grandeur of it all still leaves a man searching for something bigger than science alone can explain. The cross, that simple symbol of the gospel was the only thing that could meet him in that moment. This is the same crew that included Victor Glover openly living out his faith in lunar orbit. And now the Commander himself is moved to tears by the cross. Funny how the people who have actually left the planet keep running into the same reality the scoffers deny. The Artemis II Commander comes home and weeps at the sight of a cross. Real faith doesn’t fear the data. It doesn’t hide from the stars. It looks at the cosmos and sees the signature of the Creator who hung every one of them in place and yet still reaches down to a broken man on a Navy ship. To every skeptic who loves to trot out the old line that Christianity is “anti-science” insult. The evidence keeps stacking up against you. The men and women who have actually left the planet don’t seem to agree with your narrative. And to every believer who’s ever been mocked for holding both faith and reason? keep going. Keep exploring. Keep speaking truth when they ask. The King who set the stars in place is the same King who hung on that cross and rose from the grave. He is risen. He is risen indeed. All glory to the King who made the heavens and the earth, and who still meets men and women, even commanders of lunar missions right where they are.
