Our Home - The Speck Of Dust
196 Answers
NASA has just released images of a black hole located in a distant galaxy.
It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster". The black hole is 500 MILLION TRILLION km away.
Logically, do those enormous distances not encourage the creationist fraternity to wonder if they’re mistaken? Do they not ask why, from this whole unimaginably vast universe, a creator God would have selected this minute speck of dust located somewhere near the outer reaches of a fairly minor galaxy – just one of an estimated 2000 billion galaxies each containing billions of stars – as home to his beloved(?) creation – man?
Personally, I cannot believe we’re that special. What say you?

theres a lot of creationist stuff out there (on you tube) that believes its all fake science. …
Why a God could create a universe so unimaginably large and then care about us wearing garments made of two different materials or sowing two different crops in the field or chopping the ends of our penis's off became absurd to me when I started to question it all.

When you read stuff like this and realise anew how vast the universe is and how it seemingly goes on and on and on, then it IS hard to imagine a God who supposedly created us and keeps his eye on us ! I personally don't believe in God, but I do believe there is something 'out there' after death, but how it fits in with all this vastness is totally beyond me. A melon scratcher alright !
By way of explanation, this question has arisen from something Khandro said to me on the related thread in Science.
//naomi; It is interesting that you admit you don't understand this phenomenon, and yet you are certain that the universe contains no higher power(s)//
…to which I replied:
// we have a very definite picture of something there. Show me a picture of the higher power you refer to and I'll consider that too.//
Rather than disrupt that thread, I’ve moved the topic here. All are, of course, welcome to contribute.
