Seriously, I've had that poster full size. Earth is less significant than
a grain of sand among all the sand on the planet combined.

It is my understanding that according to scripture the purpose of the sky,
and its complexity, is a way for God to talk to His people, to those who
can read His messages. Not meant for everyone, but makes sense. Certainly
explains why earth is located where it is.


Interesting, but it seems that you too have forgotten to consider the
dark matter. Or maybe that was referenced in the nat geo pic...

We really do not know just how insignificant we are.

That is what religion is. Our attempt at making OURSELVES look more
important in the grand scheme of things, since someone took the time to
create us and even watch over us. It isn't about faith to an unprovable
entity. It is about exalting US as what that entity has taken time out
of his life to fuss over.

Sure...

Maybe "God" is those huge dark matter strings interconnecting between
galaxies and far reaches of our existence.

We are but one small node on a very huge string.
