Creation Moment 7/10/2026 - Key verse for 18th century astronomers

"Keas elaborates:
“In seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English astronomy

literature, I find no indication that the increasingly larger estimates of cosmic dimensions became grounds for debilitating doubts about human significance. 

In fact, one of the most quoted Biblical passages in eighteenth-century astronomy literature is Psalm 8:3–5 [When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him? For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.] ” (p. 18)." CMI
