Recently, something happened that changed the way most people view the universe—Pluto was demoted from its status as the last of the nine planets to a “dwarf planet.” My view of the world and the fallibility of the things that I learned at school were once more brought to mind as I mourned the loss of my favorite planet. It seems that not a day goes by where basic tenets that we hold to be true are challenged by the public eye and sometimes it can cause one to doubt. However, there are a couple of things that one must keep in mind as they ponder recent events.

God governs the affairs of men, as Benjamin Franklin stated so eloquently many years ago. This was true when the founding fathers wrote the Constitution and it is true today. In the world we live in today it is not at all uncommon for humans to declare themselves infallible. However, it is simply not true. Shocked? Well, I have got some news for you—only God knows the ways of the universe, because He created it and He knows every intimate detail about the stars, planets, comets, and anything else that is out there. Therefore, He is the only one that we can always trust to be infallible.
