We are stardust


"The air was icy and clean - and the sky was filled with more glittering stars than I'd ever seen. A shooting star arced for a few seconds and went out. I had a thought I've had many times since. How reasonable was our idea of God when the tiny blue marble of Earth was compared to the universe, less than one grain of sand on the beach at Santa Monica? If we could see galaxies of a billion suns each two million light years away, how could it be that God spoke personally to Moses, or had a son named Jesus? The bible did have some truths and insights, the most obvious one being "All is vanity...."
