Interesting perspective - but I'm not smart enough to "re-evaluate" my existence based on that article.

Thanks for the post--some great images. Although it does remind me that
as the late Douglas Adams wrote in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe, the one thing you don't want is a sense of perspective.

Excellent! -

I have never suffered from the delusion that we are the center of all this. I do think it supports my belief that the "catalyst" that started it all with a singular bang, is technically by definition God. Proof that "It" is some fantastic and infinite God...wow!

Humbling that in even in all that expanse, what we have is pretty special.

Thanks for this!

MRS. BROWN: [sigh] Makes you feel so, sort of, insignificant, doesn't it?

MAN: Yeah. Yeah. [sniff] Can we have your liver, then?

I have been pondering this kind of thing, I think what really laid it open for me was the Hubble deep space image where they aimed it at what they thought was an empty area of space, and found 1000 galaxies. What does this mean, I wonder...as opposed to in the past...did you know that before like 1928 we did not even know there were galaxies beyond our Milky Way? Thats why they are still called Nebulae, which meant a gaseous cloud, just a smudge in photos of that time. Then the red shift process of calculating distance was discovered and it became apparent that these clouds were really far off collections of stars, changing our whole concept of reality, the universe. For me it puts the Genesis story in a different light, there the creation of the earth seems to be the focus of everything: the water, the firmament, the heavens, and man. Now we know that we may not be the center of everything, and I wonder about Gods creation of life in other galaxies...God watching the Isrealites in particular seems a little more questionable, with so much to be watching over, we may be rather insignificant to God also.
