Unexplained Mysteries of the Universe

Though modern scientific research is moving along at a rapid rate, explaining many of the mysteries of the universe, there remains a number of natural phenomena that science is unable to explain. One of these is the “Naga Fireballs.” In October, along the Mekong River in Vietnam, tens of thousands of red lights rise from the bottom of the river and are lifted hundreds of feet in to the sky before disappearing. The “Naga Fireballs” haven’t lit any fires or caused any harm. It is theorized that the lights are caused by “fermented sediment in the river” releasing “bubbles of self-immolating gas that rise to the surface and combust.” (Cracked.com) Look the fireballs up on YouTube.
Another odd, unexplained natural act is the appearance of “blue jets and red sprites” above the clouds during a lightning storm. Only visible from space or a plane, these beautiful displays of light are only justified by unproven theories. Another light show has been observed in the skies minutes before major earthquakes. Thought to be gases released by earthquakes and then charged in the air or the result of a disruption of the Earth’s magnetic field, the beautiful displays of light remain a mystery.
For several hundred years, people have reported seeing animals fall from the sky in various placed throughout the world. Frogs and toads rained down in Japan. Worms rained in Louisiana. Fish fell from the sky in Singapore and Rhode Island. Some think waterspouts and tornadoes are responsible, but this doesn’t explain why the rain comes as a specific species. I like that there are still phenomena in the universe that only God can explain. As much as a lack of knowledge and awareness can cause fear and a feeling of insignificance, it can also cause humility and a respect for God’s creation. Rest easy knowing that God even knows the number of hairs on your head (Luke 12:7).
