Omnipotent Creator

Creation is mind-boggling. The earth itself is a spectacle. It is where humans have called their homes. It has seen the rise and fall of countless governments and nations. Despite all of man's great triumphs in art, music and literature, the world continues to spin as it always has.

And it is not only the home of humans, but also the dwelling place of thousands upon thousands of different plants, and multitudes of different animals.

As such, our world was placed at just the right distance away from the Sun. It was given the right mixture of gases in its atmosphere, so that essential gases would not escape, or harmful rays or space debris destroy us. It receives just the right mixture of heat from its core as well as heat from the Sun to stay comfortably safe for life on Earth. But our earth is just a smaller feature in our solar system.

Our solar system is but a spec in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is just one of many, many galaxies. There are billions, even trillions of magnificent stars. There are billions, even trillions of magnificent stars. Mike Taylor writes, "Now, Genesis's account of creation is, of course, very much from an Earth-o-centric perspective. But the connotation here... is that the stars were an afterthought! As though God, having made the Earth, then thought to himself, "Oh, OK, we'll have a few thousand million million million stars as well."

Unfortunately, when numbers become too small or too large, they being to lose their meaning. Nonetheless, our world, it would seem, is but an insignificant blip in the grand scheme of the Universe. And yet it holds the firm attention of the All-mighty Creator of the Universe.
