To know God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To know what the "universe" is, what it's part of. To know who we are, WHY we are, where we are going (the consequences of our lives)-->the practical benefits of astronomy. As opposed to living for the moment, to get high, and buy stuff, which requires no knowledge of astronomy, or much of anything else.
So well stated. I’m in a group of guys one of our pastors has put together to formally study some of the basics of theology. I’m a bit of an eclectic wierdo with 2 music degrees, M. Div; but spent last decade + of career teaching HS Physics, Astronomy, Engineering. Kind of a sounding board in this group. Some of these guys seem to have no use for science. They seem to think there is no reason to “prove” God’s creation. Even after explaining the Christian foundation to scientific revolution. Thanks for your service to the kingdom! I’m forwarding to them!

I agree, Robert. Knowing all we can about God and why we're here is what it's all about.
