Our universe is breathtakingly beautiful. It's mind-boggling how many complex structures it has!!

[@suatustel746]

You tell me:) how many nature lies in human nature!!! Lend an ear to schophenaur.. . Its better not to be born rather witnessing dehumanisation.

[@ransakreject5221]

It’s beautiful if it exists

[@markfischer3626]

What makes the universe fascinating is watching it and trying to figure it out. I started from the moment I was born and I will continue until the moment I die. I take nobody else's word for anything, make now assumptions, and I'm always prepared to admit to myself that I got it wrong up until now. because it did something my understanding can't reconcile with what I saw.

[@spacesciencelab]

I find it fascinating cause it's so massive, so ridiculously massive!!!!

Earth is probably the most interesting and weird spot in the entire universe.

Time for the quintessential and unfathomably deep words of William Shakespeare in "Hamlet", as uttered by the eponymous protagonist: "There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy".

Do your best to find unknown, I’m sure you’ll find them yourself !

[@bluelotus542]

The universe is much more fascinating than our limited and defective senses + their limited and defective extensions can detect.

[@B.S...]

The Milky Way galaxy does not have a Lagrange point ! How fascinating is that, and what that means for the Andromeda, Milky Way merger??!!

If a man were to worship and nurture a tree, and prayed every day for that tree to bear him fruit for consumption, and that tree did bear him good fruit: Then that tree would be his god. Since the tree is real and existing that would mean that his god is a real and existing god. Christians worship the Supreme God which is, ‘the cause of all creation’. Love of Christ in our hearts leads to community’s prayers which are answered with blessings including prosperity. The Holy Spirit gives us moral strength and is recognized as the Christian communities guiding influence. From a science perspective; ‘the cause of all creation’, originates from the laws of Nature. Social morals and ethics give rise to a stable society capable of social endeavors. In addition, Emotional Intelligent is responsible for the needed communication in any complex social environment. From a scientific viewpoint the worshiped Christian God is a real and existing Supreme God. Sustaining the universe, this all-powerful, present and knowing God is described by the Laws of Nature. The included source of All -Good is made evident when the Laws of Nature are used solely for the benefit of man’s survival and prosperity. The Holy Spirit accommodates this process of moral goodness and advanced communication. With this understanding, Atheism is no longer considered rational as there is now scientific evidence for the opposite view. It must be said that this view of God is not the regular supernatural view of God since science does not associate with the supernatural. With this understanding the Christian God is a real, existing God; Not supernatural. It is the lack of knowledge of the natural universe that has led to the terms, ‘supernatural’ and ‘miraculous’, to explain the unknown. Many Believers will not comprehend or endorse this view of a non-supernatural supreme God. Regardless, science evidence reveals that, 'Worshiping Christ which is in your heart leads to answered prayers'.

Aaaaaah ! Whats so facinating about this universe ? Be facinated by its creator , if you Master facination !!!!!

[@jazzunit8234]

What if the universe keeps exponentially expanding from its current slow rate until its going as fast it was in the Big Bang state everywhere everywhere outwardly, and at such speeds then everything smooshes, then slows as has done thus far

[@JungleJargon]

It just dawned on me the other day that a thousand years and one day happen at the same time in different places in the universe. It's simple (observed) general relativity. Time slows down and distance contracts because of gravity where there is a lot of matter. Conversely, time speeds up and distance expands where there is no matter in outer space. This eliminates the need for dark matter since time speeds up in the outer spiral arms of a galaxy where there is not nearly as much matter. It eliminates the need for dark energy where space expands in outer space where there is no matter. Another result of general relativity is that billions of years pass by in outer space (13 billion years) at the same time as thousands of years pass by where we are inside of the Milky Way galaxy. ...! Conclusion: The time it took for Creation and since Creation in the Bible is absolutely true!

Since the beginning of time humans had inner innate of wanting to worship, the question is why. If we came here by chance, why is it that our deeper taught is struggling to find why are here, or who started it all, and where we will be when we die. One can argue then that natural selection discriminated the human race by injecting our brain the need of wanting to worship something, that kept bothering us since the beginning of time why. Why can't the humans be like that animal kingdom, who only know certain certain things to mate and survive. Can we say natural selection made it easy for them in that way. If we humans were asking these question for thousands of years, and we are still struggling in the 21 st century despite having the most sophisticated advancements of technology is frustrating. Scientists is telling us they will never be able to tell us what was before the BIG BANG. Because they don't have anything to work with. Therefore, who else could tell us why we are here, the answer is God himself can tell us through his messenger,s.

The science method uses the real physical world when determining experiments and definitions of the natural universe. The view of Causality as an unknown natural event has led to the evidence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit effects Christian life by dwelling within believers, guiding them into a righteous and faithful life. Any definition that describes the Holy Spirit as a feeling; a presences, an influence or guiding companion, has a natural event for Causality associated with this effect. Science has confirmed the benefits of being spiritual as seen in the studies by Harold G. Konenig; 'Religion, Spirituality, and Health'. Spirituality of religious people has proven health benefits over the non-spiritual. Spirituality's association with diminished egocentrism is responsible for the successful communications found in every culture and society. Emotional Intelligence includes; self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills. All of these traits arise naturally from successful Religious Systems in the form of individuals developing into Spiritual persons. Science studies prove the existents of the 'Holy Spirit' by means of the benefits associated with the Holy Spirit. Scientific evidence for the existence of the Christian God has been found.

It's pretty convenient that you just happen to be born in this small point in time when your particular god was popular. Claiming too know the real story of this reality has always been a very popular past time for humans. So, some 300,000 gods later and we are still dreaming up new potential answers. I know, your interpretation of reality must be the correct one because you believe it too be true. And with the same level of faith that propped up every other religion we have ever had. Just remember, your god is only real to you. Your theology is only sacred to you.

[@stevecoley8365]

Metaphysics Without light and warmth (love) coming from the sun (son)...earth is nothing but a spec of dust floating in a vast ocean of darkness and emptiness. But with light and warmth (love) coming from the sun (son)...this spec of dust becomes a paradise planet lifeboat bristling with miraculous works of fine art called "life". Every miraculous work of fine art called "life" created by Love is so rare and unique that each one happens only once in time, space and dimension. Darkness (business) exists so that stars like US have a place to shine in heaven (joy, beauty and harmony). Stars like US don't exist to be sucked out of heaven by a giant black hole in space called "greed" and its ignorance (hate). Also, Love spent billions of years creating this paradise planet lifeboat so that her miraculous works of fine art called "life" have a beautiful place to "be". Love didn't spend so much time creating this paradise planet lifeboat to be depreciated, polluted and destroyed in a brief moment by hostile alien vampires (greed) and their ignorance (hate). FYI. Jesus (good/god) wasn't a "ransom sacrifice" for alien monsters.

[@richardhernandez6937]

The Big Bang theory never predicted an accelerated rate of expansion of the universe. Let me bring up two more problems. First, scientist claim the accelerated rate of expansion is 4 times the speed of light! Second problem, scientist are restricting this expansion only to the outer most edge of the universe. Wait, only the outer most edge or shell of the universe is expanding at this rate? What about inner space? Isn’t space, space? Why would there be such a large disconnect between the outer most edge of the universe and all other space inside the universe?
