Response to The Big Picture

Science never ceases to amaze me. Unvailing some of the most beautiful creations, from the microscopic orbit of the atom to the 7000 light year away Eagle Nebula. Without the advancements of science we would never had the oppurtunity to see the vastness and complexity of our universe as we know it today. As a means to further understand of our surroundings we are let into the secret of that which is so close to us, yet so far from our understanding. The most exciting part is that we have only seen the "tip of the iceberg". There is so much just waiting to be discovered and revealed. In his essay "the Big Picture", I feel that Darksyde makes a very profound observation of how he can not conceive how creationists object to the Big Bang theory. He writes, I can't "envision a greater testament to the brillance of any Creator, the the creation of the universe wih a single act, which would in turn initiate countless processes, all unfolding over eons, to produce this glorious, star-studded, breathtakingly beautiful universe." To me this is one of the greatest examples of God's power and brillance. Many people feel that science disproves the existance of a God, but to me this is one of the many things that help us to understand him and his creation. Just being able to see just how massive the universe is and having the ability to step back and realize just how small you really are is inspiring. Realizing that there is so much more beyond who you are is in some way strange way freeing.
