onight, I decided to spend some time in my hot tub after it got dark and sitting in the warm 101 degree temperature water and after turning on the jets, looked up at the stars in the sky... and noticed that there really wasn't many of them that I could see.The black sky above my head was loaded with millions perhaps billions of stars even though I could only see less than 00.00000001% of 99.9999999% of them around our planet earth which is located in our solar system... and, to expand your mental horizons imagine millions/billions of solar systems in our galaxy and millions/billions of galaxies in our quadrant of our universe.
Now, let's imagine our universe is a dinner plate and our quadrant in this universe represents 1 degree of the 360 degrees that completes the full circle of the universe. Of course, it is also possible that our quadrant is not 1 degree but 1/10 or 1/100 or 1/1,000 or 1/10,000 of 1 degree.
In short, our universe is incredible vast and in each quadrant there are literally billions of billions of billions of solar systems and galaxies... so, you can just imagine how many stars there are.
AND, as I look at these stars, I begin to wonder:
- why am I here?
- what's my purpose here?
BUT, before we answer those two questions, one must come to terms with the creation of the universe...
- was it created by the BIG BANG?
- was it created by CREATION?
Interestingly, NEITHER BELIEF CAN BE PROVED ABSOLUTELY... one must have elements of faith that support their belief(s).
If God created the universe... the big question here is WHY?
And, why did God create Jesus to die for our SINS when it was GOD who gave us those sins in the first place?
The BIG BANG direction does not take us any closer to the truth because we still have to answer the questions:
- how?
- why?
- where did the stuff that created the BIG BANG come from?
BUT... and more importantly... why am I thinking about this in the Hot Tub when the whole purpose of the hot tub is to RELAX and not think of anything?
One thing is for sure, mankind on earth relative to the size of the universe is literally INSIGNIFICANT to say the least. Does belief and faith make mankind on earth more SIGNIFICANT, especially when a member of mankind DIES?
My big question is this: Does each SOLAR SYSTEM have a God and a HEAVEN?
