It
also shows our futility when fist-shaking at God when things don’t go
right or we experience disillusionment. Yes, I’ve been mad at God. I’ve
even tried disbelieving in him, but when I do, the sheer scale and
beauty of the cosmos forces me to reconsider my rebellion.
Obviously,
a humongous telescopic camera shot this photo. Considering some of
those specks in the blackness of space are galaxies of unimaginable size,
it reveals our highly-evolved, scientific human perspective for what it
is: Less-than puny.
While
we’re at it, what if we try dropping our perceptive scale down to
include the ever-smaller subatomic particles scientists keep
discovering? Some of the more ambitious astrophysicists try putting
numbers to it, but I suspect such comparative magnitude is inconceivable even to
them.
Okay,
now that we’ve put nature into a convenient jar, what about dark energy
and matter? Can’t see it. Can’t touch it. Can’t even measure it. But
those in the scientific know insist it has to exist to hold everything else in balance. They also say there is no God.
