People that do not believe that God created the earth and human beings just for His pleasure and placed them in a beautiful cosmos, often point to the vastness of the cosmos, and the apparent smallness and insignificance of earth in relation to it, as proof that God would not make such an infinitely small pin-prick the object of his love and sacrifice, and that there must be millions of other ‘earths’ and races which means we are utterly unimportant in the universe – and to think otherwise is pure arrogance (when in reality it is not arrogance to assume God created the vast cosmos just for tiny us – it simply shows His greatness, against our smallness).
Apart from the fact that scientists now tell us that not enough time has elapsed in our cosmos for ‘evolution’ to have occurred (giving rise to multiple universe theories and others – if one theory that discounts God doesn’t work, invent another) I think this misses the whole point; if you were a vast infinite God (a God that is not infinite and outside our natural world, is no God at all), and you had created the earth and mankind as your object of desire, but wanted to somehow paint a portrait of yourself to show your beings your nature and majesty, and indeed your power in comparison to theirs (so that they might never think they don’t need you) you would create exactly what we see – the massive and incomprehensibly beautiful and power-laden cosmos, with it’s vast and almost infinite number of galaxies, with us spinning somewhere in the midst of it all on a tiny rock – totally reliant on that surrounding galaxy.
Then, the fact that God would visit this insignificant speck in the cosmos, and live and die a man’s death for the sake of us it’s inhabitants, these often mind-bogglingly small minded, and small in stature beings, shows just how great His love must be for us is.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related.
