Spinning Worlds: God's Creation in the Heavens

Mr. Carroll does a good job of giving children some lessons about our solar system from a Christian perspective. The book is appropriate for 3rd to 5th graders to read to themselves, and as a read-to-me for ages 4 to 7. My only slight critcism is that Mr. Carroll misses several prime opportunities to integrate scientific data with the biblical emphasis that God formed the earth for man. For example, when talking about Jupiter, I would have liked Mr. Carroll to say something about the fact that Jupiter guards our vulnerable planet like a soldier in outer space, protecting us from meteor impacts which would destory life on Earth. I would also have liked him to talk more about the fine-tuning of the universe.But, overall, it's a good introduction to astronomy for young children that is written from an old-earth perspective.

Urans One of the 9 planets is shaped like an Easter Egg and never stops spinning,it is also very dark on the planet.It has giant craters. Jupiter is very large and has about 16 to 20 moons,one of them is a frozen dark moon,another one is covered with gas and rocks. All of them seem to be very unlivable Mars is called the red planet,and has volcanos but they are all driedup and don't europet any more.
