Agreed. Very striking- but what, if anything, can it imply? I can't help but think God has His cake and is eating it... everything, at all scales :)

I saw this in high school 4 years ago. I've seen it many times since then and I'm still awed by the shear enormity of our universe!

And even if they did, they were likely highly overexaggerated. For example, there was a Trojan War. But were there feuding Gods, a nearly immortal man with only one weakpoint, & did Odysseus REALLY confront all those monsters on his way back home? Probably not. Charybdis & Scylla were most likely just a whirlpool & a mountain range, for example.How the Hell did this turn into a religious debate, anyway?Shit, I was all excited for seeing ACTUAL science for a change!

No, we don't believe that God exists. Switching the words around is empty rhetoric.Do you believe that Santa, the Easter Bunny, & the invisible, intangible purple dragon don't exist? No? Well, that's just unproven faith!You can't prove a negative. The burden of proof is on the you. Examining that there is no evidence for God lends credence to nonexistance.Occam's razor: Always take the simplest explanation for a thing.I think that about covers the nonsense in Pomys's statement.

Well first...none of those events are recorded actually happeneing, so ha.

TheLithp (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Okay then. How. How was the red sea parted? How was the world flooded? How did Jesus rise from the dead?Don't say "God." Use science. According to you, you answer how with science, & why with God. It's God will explains why. I want to know how, or else I'm going to conclude that one or more of those events never happened.This is why epistemology just doesn't work. As much as people love that line, they fall back on using the God of the Gaps.The universe doesn't prove or disprove God.

Funny how in the end that small, speck of an atom's nucleus looked eerily similar to the small, speck of a galaxy...

eames is a furniture designer interested in scale, not a scientist.
