Today's Reflection ♥ February 12, 2014

We live in very small place when compared to the expanse known as our universe. When you look for our tiny blue plant among all the stars, planets, solar systems, galaxies, space dust, suns, etc., etc., etc., we are absent from the untrained eye. Trillions, upon trillions, upon trillions, multiplied by a factor of trillions of microscopic particles make up the universe in which we live, yet we see these particles for the massive giants they make up. You seriously want me to believe everything we cast our eyes upon, just happened, out of a random event that set all these particles in motion? You have to be nuttier then great-aunt Mabel's fruit cake. 

As I begin to explore the macro world, and see the tiniest things as part of some thing greater, I begin to contemplate my our place in the universe. Those small particles didn't just randomly take on the shapes we recognize in our daily lives. They were carefully thought out by a being far, far more intelligent then you or I. Oh, for the most part, they are still being held together by one who has more power then even the hottest suns combined.
The Blue Speck too. (Yes, too.)

Examine today's reflection carefully, see all the various shapes within. Can you see the one wearing the blue? Expand your mind and see if you can tell how many particles that one thing has in it. What is its true size? What is it a part of? Then what is that object a part of and on, and on, until you have accounted for the entire universe. Then, try and convince me all of this just happened. Even if you could scientifically factor in that it all happened over duotrigintillion years, the chance of it happening by accident are duotrigintillion to one. 

By the way, looking at this picture, remember, our planet has been dubbed the blue spec by some astronomers and we can't actually see what it really looks like in ou
r universe, we can only make an assumption. The blue spec you are pondering its cosmic size for, has actually been viewed unseen by many and now photographed, not for the first time, but it has been recognized for the first time.
