ch. 18 - big

Chapter 18 was really interesting for me because it is all new information. Growing up, my parents believed very strongly in young creationism, so these ideas and evidence are all very new to me. It is kind of upsetting that such wonderful, glorious things were never shared with me until now. But at the same time, I think I have a better appreciation for the wonders of the universe now that I am in college than when all I cared about was hanging out at the mall. The Big Picture in deed. I don't really understand why my parents believe what they do, after reading this chapter, I feel like there is even more evidence supporting creation now then not accepting these facts at all. I have a feeling this is going to spark some interesting discussion with them in the next few days. The images in the chapter were breathtaking, I really couldn't get enough of them! I would love to find more like those and understand exactly what I am looking at. What really blew me away was that each image was completely different from the next one. Each galaxy is unique! How wonderfully beautiful it all is! I am in awe of the Big Picture.
