Our Home - The Speck Of Dust
196 Answers
NASA has just released images of a black hole located in a distant galaxy.
It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster". The black hole is 500 MILLION TRILLION km away.
Logically, do those enormous distances not encourage the creationist fraternity to wonder if they’re mistaken? Do they not ask why, from this whole unimaginably vast universe, a creator God would have selected this minute speck of dust located somewhere near the outer reaches of a fairly minor galaxy – just one of an estimated 2000 billion galaxies each containing billions of stars – as home to his beloved(?) creation – man?
Personally, I cannot believe we’re that special. What say you?

Our planet is simply a spec of dust, suspended in a light beam.
Brilliant thread Naomi.
The density of the black hole would be incomprehensible for me.
Yes i do question how accurate this picture is. However, from the looks of the photo, it's not very clear at all. The tech behind the storyis much more interesting than the photo itself.
"Personally, I cannot believe we’re that special. What say you? "
Absolutely agree. It's typical human arrogance. Just because we're more aware, we feel not only are we more important than 99.9% of life on the planet, but we also consider ourselfs the centre of the universe and centre of importance. (or some do)
Typical human perspective and arrogance.
We will only ever be able to think as humans.
Humans are typically humans, if you get what i mean by that.

Theland, you've not responded to the question "do those enormous distances not encourage the creationist fraternity to wonder if they’re mistaken?", but you have given your opinion that God created the universe. The rest is superfluous - or to put it another way, preaching.
Your rudeness is also superfluous.
Your rudeness is also superfluous.

Needing the most complex thing in the Universe to have always existed is the big weakness in a theory that demand that everything has a designer that is more complex than it.
Meanwhile science has shown that there is no need for an ultimate cause of everything because Nothing is impossible. The Laws of Physics show precisely how everything we now see developed from a single pixel of intense amorphous energy.
So much more comprehensible than the idea of a god.
