Not all heroes wear capes. Some are named David Butler and post incredibly informative videos that have beautiful music narrated with his delightfully relaxing voice. Unless of course Mr. Butler wears a cape, in which case all heroes wear capes.
I love that people appreciate this shit as much as we do. Honestly brings tears to my eyes to know we’re so lucky to have such an incredible wealth of knowledge so well made for absolutely free. It’s honestly amazing
To the best of our knowledge, all heroes wear capes. However, we recognize that many heroes may or may not wear capes. Also, some villains wear capes. I suppose the point is, do not judge anyone wearing a cape simply by the fact that they are or are not wearing a cape. A cape is not an accurate measure of heroic intent. But David Butler is totes a hero.
How cool it is that Mr Butler posts some of the most interesting and informative videos on the internet - and then keeps them up to date and in 4K? Thank you Mr Butler for your wonderful work.
I Don't see how it's humanly possible to watch this program & take in the information without feeling incomparably tiny. The telescopes that are world has been launching over the last 15 or 20 years are simply and truly amazing and it just gets better every day. I was watching the show and marveling at the fact that they could zoom in and the resolution was mapping time as we zoomed in unbelievable remarkable astounding I don't know any other adjectives that could really describe this thank you
I know it is gonna be a great evening when I see "David Butler" show up in my new uploads. Mr. Butler, I have seen all of your amazing and informative videos, and you are greatly appreciated! I have learned so much from you. Hope you are doing well!
I can't believe I am just now learning about this channel. My kids watch your videos with me before bed. Seeing them listen to every word and ask me questions, their little minds in awe and wonder at the universe while I hold them in my arms gives me a peace and happiness that's hard to describe. Thank you!
yes his voice makes his videos a nice go to bed story where he fills the mind of the listener with beautiful pictures and size and distance measurments of beatiful things in the cosmos. ( me myself fall asleep 70/30 with war documentaries and space documentaries ) or stories of ancient kings and queens. I am alone and feels nice to have a voice talking to me while going to sleep. And in the long run I learn a heck of a lot.
I love space and I never knew this channel existing. I looked at the age of this channel and the amount of videos available and I'm overjoyed lol. I'll be watching every one.
What kind of human down thumbs a video like this? Thank you David for your highly educational and calming videos and of never being afraid of the answer "We don't know."
Antiscience and "Young Earth Creationist" are the types that gives videos like this a thumbs down. They think they have the all the answers they need from the bible, especially in Genesis. Any science that challenges their core beliefs is blasphemy!
David, by showing us such beauty and all of it accompanied by such glorious music, you appease the soul, and that makes you both a teacher and a healer. Thank you.
Your channel is very much appreciated Mr. David Butler. I've had an overwhelming fascination with outer space since childhood and your channel simply makes me feel the infinite youthful wonderment I felt then. I look forward to each and every video. Thank you very much.
Hey there Tavanium! I feel the exact same way about space and that is why I find myself on this channel. My interest has lead me to work towards becoming an astronaut. I am currently working towards that goal, check out my journey on my channel.
This is by far one of the greatest shows on RUclips and should deserve it's own RUclips space on the front page. If you ever see this David, keep going with this style. We keep returning to this and many of your older ones so much. Maybe create space travel simulations from us to more and more distant spaces! That would be insanely good!
I have watched a video by this same RUclips channel where it would take 500+ million years for Voyager 1 to get to a point where a photo of the whole Milky Way Galaxy would be in the pic
@@chew76 yes, that nearest star is within our Milky 🌌 Way At the current technology, any manned mission would take about 170,000 years to reach Proxma Centari
I watch you before bed with my headphones in, nobody does it better then you sir! The calming music in the back, with your relaxing, knowledgeable, voice, it usually takes me everything in me to stay away for half of the program, so two days for one documentary, that's only if I really try hard. Thanks for your passion, love of educating us who love to know more about this incredible universe-- multiverse & beyond, we are not even a speck of sand in it all, literally microscopic at best!
it still blows my mind that, although these stars look so densely packed, there’s trillions of miles between them. it’s inconceivable how massive our universe is. massive isn’t even close enough to describe the insanity of it. i’ll forever be fascinated and also sad that i cant experience these beautiful sights first hand with my own eyes. the only reason we can see these massive objects is because of their distance, to be able to see it with the naked eye would be incredible and impossible but we can daydream 💭
That's why we have our OOB senses, we're designed to be awed by the wonders of creation from direct observations. The caveman tools we are using right now are nothing in comparison to the secrets of our organic genome.
Lol yeah kinda hilarious how we walk around with big egos and self importance like our crap doesn't stink. We are absolutely but a spec of a spec of a thousand million specs.
Is it insulting to say you do so much for the sleep disorder community? It’s so relaxing to fall asleep to these transcendent images and the detailed but clear insights you provide.
I love your videos, David. I fall asleep to them. The magic and majesticness of them all. It's like being read a bedtime story every night. It's beautiful.
Actually had the balls to stop talking for a few seconds and let what you just heard sink in while enjoying the music and visuals without fear I would get bored and go elsewhere. Thankyou David, by respecting me you have earned my respect.
What a great way to conclude a night then to listen to David Butler and watch his video. We humans have a hard time grasping the majesty of our surroundings. When we were doing star parties regularly, people would often express that the mere size of the universe made it hard to comprehend. I believe those attributes set our imagination free to roam among the stars and enjoy the wonder of it all. Thanks for all your work, David.
When I see and learn about the universe, I can't stop thinking about how insignificant we (humans) are and how small compare to the entire universe or even the solar system is our existing and civilization. Amazing video!
It’s nice to hear a real human voice talking about these things. Don’t get me wrong, I admire all the other videos put out on this subject. I watch a lot of them and am even subscribed to their channels for the informative content. I know and understand the YT hustle. However, it’s nice to hear someone talk about it with their own voice, conveying real emotions, and actually hearing the tone of the voice change along with showing real images instead of something computer generated (which are amazing, by the way, but real space is way more intriguing than fake space). Keeps me more focused, like I’m front row in a class with a test tomorrow. Thanks for the informative videos! Just found your channel. I have a lot to go through and watch. 17:45 - so breathtakingly beautiful.
It’s unfortunate that this channel doesn’t have more subscribers. You do an excellent job overall, between the information you convey, to the calming, relaxing music, and your voice. Carl Sagan would be pleased. Not all of the brightest astronomers and astrophysicists are able to communicate what they know to an audience of lay persons in a way that we can understand. You have that gift. It’s just sad that we have so much light pollution that it’s difficult, even with a good telescope, (a local university has one just a short drive away, but even it is difficult to view, due to the local light pollution) to see anything close to the detail shown here. Thank you for the care, effort, and attention to detail you have put into your videos.
PafMedic I live in Massachusetts. Light pollution is a problem almost everywhere in the eastern part of the state. The observatory was part of an upgrade of a local college to a university, and the observatory is atop a whole new science building. That’s a problem also, because anyone walking in lower floors of the building causes vibrations which affect the quality of the viewing. This isn’t just a problem with this university. Light pollution is a problem around the globe. Just viewing through the atmosphere is difficult, not just because of the twinkling, caused by the atmosphere, but because our atmosphere blocks many parts of the EM spectrum from reaching the surface. This is good for life on Earth, but tough for observers. I think the next step is an observatory on the far side of the Moon. That solves the light pollution problem, and we could build instruments that can explore across the entire EM spectrum. And “night” lasts two entire weeks. But this telescope is good for an introduction to astronomy, and it’s open to the public one night a week (though not now, during the pandemic).
Great Sir. My humble praises to you. Your vid lessons r helping the budding Astronomers well beyond expectations. Great my humble regards to you. GURU JI.
Two years ago, I couldn't even tell you the name of another galaxy other than the Milky Way.... or the name of a star other than our sun..... Then by sheer boredom, I watched a video on UY-Scuti, which until recently was the largest know star in our universe. The size of that star, in which billions of our suns could fit into, absolutely blew my mind!! Now two years later my wife calls me a space nerd, and I've watched hundreds of videos on our universe, Mr. Butler, your videos are some of the most informative and beautifully illustrated that I've enjoyed yet! I vote that the next biggest star we discover be aptly named "The David Butler Star".
"My view is that the Universe is probably crawling with life and when I say crawling with life, I mean only a billion life forms have evolved. A billion is such a tiny number compared to the number of Planets in the Universe, that these islands of life could be so spread out, that they never have any chance of meeting or knowing each other" Richard Dawkins.
The universe is filled with life and the saddest part is we might never get to see them. The distance is just so vast, I don’t think mankind will unlock interstellar anytime soon. We are too busy fighting over trivial things amongst each other.
At the beginning when he said "persian astronomers..." it brake my heart as a ex-muslim Iranian its hard to think back then we ware looking up to skies to solve the biggest questions for humanity but now we are chanting death to other nations. i have so much shame for this. every day I'm trying to distance myself from what my county became its a sad feeling knowing what potentials we lost. I want to thank you for your marvellous work. I hope some day we look at skies again. At the end knowledge and logic will cary us to the stars not the religious books.
I always look forward to a new video by you. I really really enjoy how much effort you put into breaking down complex science without oversimplifying. This channel is my go-to for chill educational videos, especially winding down before bed
I’ve been binge watching David Butler’s videos since the images from JWST were released. How amazing and numinous is our cosmos!!! Even within our local cluster are billions and billions and billions of stars; all with countless planets surround almost each and every star. How many of those have life? And life that are technologically evolved like ours?!? We I’ll never know! And how amazing is that we we live in a time where we can send up satellites like Hubble, Chandra, Gaia, and now JWST!! And how fortunate we are to talented people like David to make these videos? They are simply the best, most authentic videos on RUclips.
Your channel is one of the rare gems on RUclips! Your videos are highly informative, and with soft voice and a soothing background music, very relaxing to watch. I watch them everyday at night after dinner while going to bed! Thank you for these videos!
we are looking at Andromeda 2M years ago. with that 2M, by now, there should be many 👽s developed since then. with 800billion stars, no way that there are no aliens!
goodsummitguy it took one Billion years for the first life forms to develop on earth and another 3.5 Billion years for that life to evolve into you and me.
@@malcolmtent thank you, I see, but those stars exists also billions of years ago not only 2M years ago as we are seeing them now. All I am saying is that so many stars near our galaxy and we don't even need to look further to find one civilization :)
goodsummitguy I agree; the Milky Way is 13.5 billion years old with 300 billion stars and Andromeda is 10 billion years old with 900 billion stars. Definitely enough time and real estate for the biochemistry to happen; and we know it happens because we exist to have a discussion about it.
Since my encounter, many decades past, I believe our space family will return. Those intermensional beings have visited since, always loving with approval.😍
Hello and Thank You for these great videos. Great photos great narrating and beautiful music! Your taste in music is very excellent. I can never get tired of watching these wonderful series. They are always new to me, I learn a new thing every time. Thanks again. Best Regards:
Thanks for making these videos. They answer a lot questions that are never really discussed in the popular astronomy videos that I watch on science channel and national geographic
These videos are only for the quality audiance. Sir is an inspiration for all . Even at this age he is making one of the best contents on the internet . Thank you sir , thank you for everything 🙏 May God bless you with long healthy life❤ One day I will be like you✊
Absolutely stunning stuff. It makes the fascinating study of astronomy almost approachable to us English majors! Just really appreciate these programs. Nearly impossible for me to get my head around the massive scale of the universe. Thank you sir for making this tour so accessible to us!!
And when the light from Andromeda reached our planet, what we see is where it was because it's somewhere else. If you put a stationary disk with radial lines in Andromeda, and another RIGID one spinning, you'll see that the spinning one now has "S" shaped "straight" lines because the time it takes light to go from one end, through the center, to the other end. We see the past. Never the present as it takes time to think.
I have been out in the fields on Earth in spring time, beautiful flowers, plants and trees. This video shows us that the sky and space can rival the Earth in its beauty! Good content, and Nice images. Thanks God and the scientists and engineers who made these images and information available, and thanks you Dr. David Butler for presenting them to us. Well done, Thanks.
Absolutely profound and fascinating videos. Thank you for blowing my mind. It's amazing how so much detail is revealed in a hubble picture by zooming in. Please make more videos!
David, just found your channel & it's absolutely brilliant. the video's are magnificent & the resolution is exceptional. Keep producing this stuff, it's a pleasure to watch.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they If you believe in the God of the Bible, the Word of the One True God, YHVH, then you believe in the creation of Adam and Eve. God blessed them and told them to take dominion over all the earth and all things here. God gave them one warning: Not to eat of the forbidden "fruit", else they would die that "day" ("One day to God is as one thousand years to man.") Eve was tempted by a "serpent"; tempted TO disobey, tempted TO defy God's command, tempted TO taste what appeared "good to eat" (was the serpent eating the "fruit"?) . She did not fear the serpent/dragon. The serpent did not threaten to harm her or her husband. *By persuasion alone was Eve deceived to believe a lie.* God cursed both Eve and Adam, the earth, and the serpent/dragon. Evil, sin and death entered this world because of their disobedience. Adam lost his dominion and the evil one took over. *But God.* Not without a promise of Redemption for Eve and Adam's descendants to return unto God. Who stipulated the required redemptive price of *innocent blood* ? We are not privy to the laws and commands between the evil one and our Creator God, but the evil one knew there could NEVER hence be any man with *innocent* blood. So such was the price. God promised there would be One to pay that ransom. The evil one tried killing and mixing the "seed of the woman" to stop that Redeemer ("The sons of God [fallen angels] saw that the daughters of men were beautiful [compared to ??] and *took them and had offspring* ") . (Think Eve was an exception? She had already sinned.) Cain, one interpretation, says "was the son of the evil one", killed Abel. The pagan rulers had male Jewish children killed at least twice in Scripture. What the evil one did not know, was that out of the *love* God has for man, God chose to pay that price of *innocent* blood Himself, and redeem us back to Him through a human form of Himself, Jesus *the Christ* , not a mere "prophet". Islam claims: *GOD HAS NO SON.* So, no, you are indeed wrong. The Qu'ran completely denies mankind's need for redemption even though God established the sacrifice of innocent animals "with no defect" to be a temporary ATONEMENT for His people's sins. The Qu'ran refuses to accept that an all powerful God CANNOT stoop so low as to sacrifice Himself for His *CHILDREN* . And if there were no other differences between Christianity and Islam, that alone should wake you up to the *fact* that Christianity and Islam do *NOT* serve the same God. Men make God in *their* image, and, therefore, believe He is too MASCULINE to sacrifice Himself for His creation. They do not know all the attributes of God: *love* , *compassion* , *patience* , etc. A MASCULINE God, in men's logic, would NOT save a human's tears, yet His Word says He does. I leave you with one wisdom God's Holy Spirit gave me: Can God grow? My reply: NO! God is all in all! With different events that followed within a few years, I learned: God can grow. How, you ask? *CHILDREN* . Maranatha (He comes) !!!
This is just so fascinating to watch and you narrative is one of the best. Just can't believe what's out there, just amazing, keep up the good work David.
Whoooo! you had me pretty scared there for a minute when you said Andromeda was on a collision course with the Milky way. That was until you said it would take 4 billion years to reach us. I calmed down after that because I figure I'll probably be dead by then anyway.
Its always a little difficult for me to understand the scale of the universe. These videos, with their sweeping graphics and clear narration, really help me get a grip on concepts such as cosmic distance and deep time, and the nuances of mass and gravity. Thank you so much for putting this work out here, where even a high school drop out can watch and learn for free.
You Have a New Sub,My Skywatcher Mount Comes In Today,and My Deep Space Camera On Friday❤️🔭❤️My Target Starting Friday Night...Our Local Group🔭❤️🔭Great Video...Happy Days and Clear Skies
For sure the most informative and "democratic" astrophysical channel ...the music, the narrative, everything works together pretty well! Thank you for the amazing content and hope you keep doing new series !
Its so mind boggling, the distances involved. The number of galaxies and stars is just downright unimaginable to the human mind,I happen to think the enormity of the cosmos could never me mapped by the likes of mankind.Its too vast to comprehend.

John Cronin ,🤔🤔Now You Have Me Wondering Why They Built an Observatory In a Heavily Light Polluted Area

Now two years later my wife calls me a space nerd, and I've watched hundreds of videos on our universe, Mr. Butler, your videos are some of the most informative and beautifully illustrated that I've enjoyed yet! I vote that the next biggest star we discover be aptly named "The David Butler Star".
"My view is that the Universe is probably crawling with life and when I say crawling with life, I mean only a billion life forms have evolved. A billion is such a tiny number compared to the number of Planets in the Universe, that these islands of life could be so spread out, that they never have any chance of meeting or knowing each other" Richard Dawkins.
The universe is filled with life and the saddest part is we might never get to see them. The distance is just so vast, I don’t think mankind will unlock interstellar anytime soon. We are too busy fighting over trivial things amongst each other.
@@Dan-Martin I totally agree. It’s very sad.
At the beginning when he said "persian astronomers..." it brake my heart as a ex-muslim Iranian its hard to think back then we ware looking up to skies to solve the biggest questions for humanity but now we are chanting death to other nations. i have so much shame for this. every day I'm trying to distance myself from what my county became its a sad feeling knowing what potentials we lost.
I want to thank you for your marvellous work. I hope some day we look at skies again.
At the end knowledge and logic will cary us to the stars not the religious books.
Nothing humbles me more then centering myself around these creations and distances.
Watching this on LSD is one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Great idea!
As if it ain't mind blowing enough
I always look forward to a new video by you. I really really enjoy how much effort you put into breaking down complex science without oversimplifying. This channel is my go-to for chill educational videos, especially winding down before bed
I’ve been binge watching David Butler’s videos since the images from JWST were released. How amazing and numinous is our cosmos!!! Even within our local cluster are billions and billions and billions of stars; all with countless planets surround almost each and every star. How many of those have life? And life that are technologically evolved like ours?!? We I’ll never know! And how amazing is that we we live in a time where we can send up satellites like Hubble, Chandra, Gaia, and now JWST!! And how fortunate we are to talented people like David to make these videos? They are simply the best, most authentic videos on RUclips.
Just wish Butler would respond to a few of these comments.
Your channel is one of the rare gems on RUclips! Your videos are highly informative, and with soft voice and a soothing background music, very relaxing to watch. I watch them everyday at night after dinner while going to bed! Thank you for these videos!
I LOVE how amazing your videos are! Beautifully produced!
Fantastic job sir!!
Why can't human beings stop fighting and destroying the planet.
Look to the Heavens oh mortal man and know the truth.
Peace
Indeed, we can build tens of thousands of tanks but only one Hubble Space Telescope...
Because we speak different language and have different backgrounds and different beliefs and that makes it hard tor us to unite
Ugh that's how survival of the fittest works you dunce
@@anthonyhutchins2300 Why call him dunce, he only ask a question. Must you comment if you don't have anything positive to say?
🙏
David, this is awesome. It reminds me of the big blackout in the North-east when we saw stars we here never seen.
we are looking at Andromeda 2M years ago. with that 2M, by now, there should be many 👽s developed since then. with 800billion stars, no way that there are no aliens!
goodsummitguy it took one Billion years for the first life forms to develop on earth and another 3.5 Billion years for that life to evolve into you and me.
@@malcolmtent thank you, I see, but those stars exists also billions of years ago not only 2M years ago as we are seeing them now. All I am saying is that so many stars near our galaxy and we don't even need to look further to find one civilization :)
goodsummitguy I agree; the Milky Way is 13.5 billion years old with 300 billion stars and Andromeda is 10 billion years old with 900 billion stars. Definitely enough time and real estate for the biochemistry to happen; and we know it happens because we exist to have a discussion about it.
Since my encounter, many decades past, I believe our space family will return. Those intermensional beings have visited since, always loving with approval.😍
PS that is : INTERDIMENTIONAL
Hello and Thank You for these great videos. Great photos great narrating and beautiful music! Your taste in music is very excellent. I can never get tired of watching these wonderful series. They are always new to me, I learn a new thing every time.
Thanks again.
Best Regards:
Thanks for uploading. Know this is an older video but is my favourite. Music is great
taha ch755 why are you messaging me? You sound delirious. Please get some help. There is no god.
I’m here for the soothing voice, classical music and dreamy visuals.
This is a beautifully composed video, that's why I subscribed. Watching Andromeda from Portmore in Jamaica
Thank you so much for all you do, I love astromony and its hard to find great youtube content that truly respects the wonders of the universe.
Thanks for making these videos. They answer a lot questions that are never really discussed in the popular astronomy videos that I watch on science channel and national geographic
I used to watch all your videos and thought of you just the other day. What a gift to find this video! Thank you David Butler!!
These videos are only for the quality audiance.
Sir is an inspiration for all . Even at this age he is making one of the best contents on the internet . Thank you sir , thank you for everything 🙏
May God bless you with long healthy life❤
One day I will be like you✊
To think of the total number of stars shown in this video is mind-boggling yet, the number of planets orbiting those stars may be even far greater.
I see a new David Butler video, i click! Simple as that.
Always such nice, educational, entertaining AND calming content. Love it.

Hello from Finland ☕🍰 I like too much you are video I'm very happy your video 4K 👍 you have big respect
"Our Milky Way" - like we own it. Maybe, "The Milky Way" which we are part of would be more
appropriate.
Absolutely stunning stuff. It makes the fascinating study of astronomy almost approachable to us English majors! Just really appreciate these programs. Nearly impossible for me to get my head around the massive scale of the universe.
Thank you sir for making this tour so accessible to us!!
And when the light from Andromeda reached our planet, what we see is where it was because it's somewhere else.
If you put a stationary disk with radial lines in Andromeda, and another RIGID one spinning, you'll see that the spinning one now has "S" shaped "straight" lines because the time it takes light to go from one end, through the center, to the other end. We see the past. Never the present as it takes time to think.
yup
one of the best videos I've watched on youtube. So much information spanning discoveries from a thousand years.
FINALLY! Thank you for being so mindful of what this man needed.
I have been out in the fields on Earth in spring time, beautiful flowers, plants and trees. This video shows us that the sky and space can rival the Earth in its beauty! Good content, and Nice images. Thanks God and the scientists and engineers who made these images and information available, and thanks you Dr. David Butler for presenting them to us. Well done, Thanks.
Suddenly I feel very small and insignificant. This is like a very calming version of Douglas Adams' "Total Perspective Vortex".
Humans were never big but our brains are just look at the structures we built all thanks to our tiny brains capable of so imaginations.
Who has been posting all these wonderful, beautiful videos about astronomy? Now we know. The Butler did it.
My biggest question is what capped off the Big Bang? Where the hell did all this matter come from? Are there parallel universes?
Absolutely profound and fascinating videos. Thank you for blowing my mind. It's amazing how so much detail is revealed in a hubble picture by zooming in. Please make more videos!
I can watch this all day. So mind blowing. Great content. Thank you for your time and hard work
This is my favourite video by David Butler. Thanks for re-uploading in 4K.
David, just found your channel & it's absolutely brilliant. the video's are magnificent & the resolution is exceptional. Keep producing this stuff, it's a pleasure to watch.
Whoo hoo! We have at least 59 dwarf galaxies orbiting us. Andromeda only has around 34. Take that, Andromeda!
Ah haha 😄.lmao
Imagine all the alien civilisations who are or were studying our Milky Way but we may never make contact with them.
@Star Scream
Milky Way is my favorite chocolate bar.
What if there human like us on andromeda trying to get here...😮😮
@taha ch755 Well, there really isn't much of a difference between Christianity and Islam, is there?
Well said my fellow man kind, the Universe is full of gods goddesses and life forms just like you and me.😍
@@ominous-omnipresent-they
If you believe in the God of the Bible, the Word of the One True God, YHVH,
then you believe in the creation of Adam and Eve.
God blessed them and told them to take dominion over all the earth and all things here.
God gave them one warning:
Not to eat of the forbidden "fruit", else they would die that "day"
("One day to God is as one thousand years to man.")
Eve was tempted by a "serpent"; tempted TO disobey,
tempted TO defy God's command,
tempted TO taste what appeared "good to eat" (was the serpent eating the "fruit"?) .
She did not fear the serpent/dragon.
The serpent did not threaten to harm her or her husband.
*By persuasion alone was Eve deceived to believe a lie.*
God cursed both Eve and Adam, the earth, and the serpent/dragon.
Evil, sin and death entered this world because of their disobedience.
Adam lost his dominion and the evil one took over.
*But God.*
Not without a promise of Redemption for Eve and Adam's descendants to return unto God.
Who stipulated the required redemptive price of *innocent blood* ?
We are not privy to the laws and commands between the evil one and our Creator God, but the evil one knew there could NEVER hence be any man with *innocent* blood.
So such was the price.
God promised there would be One to pay that ransom.
The evil one tried killing and mixing the "seed of the woman" to stop that Redeemer ("The sons of God [fallen angels] saw that the daughters of men were beautiful [compared to ??] and *took them and had offspring* ") . (Think Eve was an exception? She had already sinned.)
Cain, one interpretation, says "was the son of the evil one", killed Abel.
The pagan rulers had male Jewish children killed at least twice in Scripture.
What the evil one did not know, was that out of the *love* God has for man,
God chose to pay that price of *innocent* blood Himself,
and redeem us back to Him through a human form of Himself, Jesus *the Christ* ,
not a mere "prophet".
Islam claims:
*GOD HAS NO SON.*
So, no, you are indeed wrong.
The Qu'ran completely denies mankind's need for redemption even though God established the sacrifice of innocent animals "with no defect" to be a temporary ATONEMENT for His people's sins.
The Qu'ran refuses to accept that an all powerful God CANNOT stoop so low as to sacrifice Himself for His *CHILDREN* .
And if there were no other differences between Christianity and Islam, that alone should wake you up to the *fact* that Christianity and Islam do
*NOT* serve the same God.
Men make God in *their* image, and, therefore, believe He is too MASCULINE to sacrifice Himself for His creation.
They do not know all the attributes of God: *love* , *compassion* , *patience* , etc.
A MASCULINE God, in men's logic, would NOT save a human's tears, yet His Word says He does.
I leave you with one wisdom God's Holy Spirit gave me:
Can God grow?
My reply: NO! God is all in all!
With different events that followed within a few years, I learned:
God can grow.
How, you ask?
*CHILDREN* .
Maranatha (He comes) !!!
Our vantage point is spectacular
Excellent video.
Making my first telescope. A 15" Dob. Can't wait to see some of these with it.
@taha ch755 TLDR
@taha ch755 Believe what you want, pal. I practically guarantee, no one here is interested. Lots of words can't mask that you have an empty argument.
I sleep in 1 minute.
Good night sweetie❤️
Every time I see David Butler has uploaded a video I think to myself " prepare to get your mind blown" and he never disappoints.
This is just so fascinating to watch and you narrative is one of the best. Just can't believe what's out there, just amazing, keep up the good work David.
It's absolutely amazing how we can see nebulae in such detail located in other galaxies.
We can see even individual stars in M31 and M33.
Whoooo! you had me pretty scared there for a minute when you said Andromeda was on a collision course with the Milky way. That was until you said it would take 4 billion years to reach us. I calmed down after that because I figure I'll probably be dead by then anyway.
,😂😂😂
Probably
the universe is so large, if andromeda and Milky way collided, the probability of star collision is low.
Thank you sir. That's all I have to say. People like you make You Tube a grate place to gather knowledge.
By far the best explanation and illustration of 'nearby' space I've ever seen. Very compelling viewing and highly mind-boggling!
What's even more mind-boggling is the fact that this only about the local group with trillions of stars.. It's crazy
Its always a little difficult for me to understand the scale of the universe. These videos, with their sweeping graphics and clear narration, really help me get a grip on concepts such as cosmic distance and deep time, and the nuances of mass and gravity. Thank you so much for putting this work out here, where even a high school drop out can watch and learn for free.
If Pluto's orbit (of over 6 bill miles) was scaled down to just 1 mm, our galaxy would be 100 km diam and Andromeda would be 2000 km away.
سبحان الله. والحمد لله. ولا. الاه. إلا. الله.والله. أكبر.
Perfect pace and presentation. You are the Ken Burns of the Cosmos. Many thanks.
Great narration. Everyone else rushes and act like game-show hosts. This is proper. THANK YOU.
We are not alone. How can we be with such magnificence
You Have a New Sub,My Skywatcher Mount Comes In Today,and My Deep Space Camera On Friday❤️🔭❤️My Target Starting Friday Night...Our Local Group🔭❤️🔭Great Video...Happy Days and Clear Skies
For sure the most informative and "democratic" astrophysical channel ...the music, the narrative, everything works together pretty well! Thank you for the amazing content and hope you keep doing new series !
Its so mind boggling, the distances involved. The number of galaxies and stars is just downright unimaginable to the human mind,I happen to think the enormity of the cosmos could never me mapped by the likes of mankind.Its too vast to comprehend.
