Our little corner of the universe |
Each dot is a celestial body; stars and worlds at a scale beyond our imagination.PF: More science = Less religion.
Do you really think a being that created all this cares about which foot you enter the bathroom with; or which hand you eat with and what special words you say before you eat?
My headline reference is to the common statement that there are more stars than grains of sand in the world. I wondered about this, could it be true? I did some calculations based on what we know about each -- sand and stars -- and it's true. Not only just true, but true by at least one order of magnitude, meaning that even if we're off by a bit, it doesn't matter, the fact remains: there are more stars than grains of sand.
And it's a passing reference to theory of "The God of the Gaps". God exists only in those gaps where science doesn't explain. And that gap gets inexorably smaller.
