 to star, changing nebulae into stars, and stars back again to nebulae ? 



But who can peer into the future ? Who reveal the secrets that 

 science will bring to light in the next hundred years ? 



Out of the universal matrix will come knowledge resplendent with 

 honor and glory. The Almighty has so ordained it, and in His own 

 good time His omni-science will bring to view the hidden mysteries 

 of nature.
