The Cosmos.
This is a great series if you have not watched it already. This takes us from the beginning of our existence to and fro. There is a great bit of history and some unlikely heroes in our modern time who have invented amazing things.
First off I would like to begin with space and time. Space can be measured by distance from one planet to the next, or one star to the next, or one solar system to the next, but there is no end to space. It goes on forever and if it didn’t then what would be outside of it, nothing forever? Time, the one thing without a beginning or end. Time is infinite forward and backwards. Same concept, if there were not then what is out side of that. So with that said “A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away”, does make perfect sense.
One point The Cosmos touched on was life. We measure life in years, an average human life is 75 years in the modern day, up 48 years from a more primitive time, but The Cosmos touched on a micro organism that has survived space for millions of years. So life as we know it could be more than our lifetime. It could be endless.
Horton hears a Who. What an interesting concept. in 1954 Dr. Seuss had this incredible insight that not only could we be larger then life, but we could be smaller then life. We could be a spec on the end of a flower and we also could be holding a flower with and entire world as large as ours on it. In one swoop our world could be destroyed, but in the other hand, in the right hand our tiny spec could be preserved.
Last weeks sermon was about Gods given talents. 3 men were given talents, the first 5, the second 2, and the last 1. The first turned his into 10, the second into 4, and the third he buried his in the ground. The point was if we didn’t use our talents then what was the point of having them. Many people in The Cosmos used their talents such as glass making to figure out a way to look at the stars and figure out that there is a vast land far beyond your physical reaches, but within out sight and imagination.
I have not finished the entire series yet, but it is a very good show and really blows my mind of how minuscule we really are. As it does touch on how modern life on a years calendar is only seconds at the end when compared to the life of the Earth. So in conclusion I see that it is impossible that there is not life in other solar systems, and it is very possible that there is a vast amount of evolution somewhere as we look into the stars. It is not outside the realm of possibility that there are other great planets with populated evolutionary animals such as ourselves. Christopher Columbus set out to find the new world and someday we will set out to find the new world out in space.
