Louie Giglio's Mashup of Stars Singing "How Great is Our God"

September 23, 2011 by mattperman

Louie Giglio brought in some amazing illustrations from astronomy to illustrate the supremacy of God.

Apparently, the electromagnetic radiation that quasars emit translates into sound. “Stars don’t just shine; they also sing.”

So he put some quasars up on the screen and then the sound their signals reduce to. Then he did this for some whales, mashed it all together, and laid over Chris Tomlin’s “How Great is Our God.” And it all fit. It was pretty cool.

It seemed so hard to explain that I captured the video on my iPhone. Here’s the video:

And here was his point:

“The point is simply this. God is a God who doesn’t need anything. He has a band, he has a universe, that is singing to him. Every bird’s wing that flaps through the sky, every ocean wave that crashes on the shore, every snowflake that falls imperceptibly to you and me, or when a baby cries or a human being laughs, it is all God’s creation praising him, and he is big and powerful and amazing and expansive in every way, and he is the one asking the question: ‘Whom shall I send? He doesn’t need us, but he invites us to be a part of what he is doing.'”
