  • The universe is full of wonders beyond our understanding! Believe it or not, recent surveys estimate that there are around 2 trillion galaxies in the piece of the universe we can see - each around the size of our Milky Way. What an amazing, mind-blowing fact!

      For stars I think it’s roughly a 1 with 21 or 22 zeros after it. Those numbers aren’t close to each other bc one of them is ten times the size of the other, but it’s something like that. It’s a bit of a moot point bc the non observable universe, ie the part that the light hasn’t reached us from yet, dwarfs this number anyway.

    One night while on duty on the flight deck (not at flight ops) of an aircraft carrier out a sea near the equator I was standing on the top an airplane. Looking around everything was dark except for the sky filled with stars. I could almost feel like I was standing in an empty universe. I have never forgotten what that was like. The star light was slightly illuminating the gray aircraft around me. But just looking up and gazing at the stars was a unique experience.

      ‏Einstein said, “In light of such a harmony in the universe that I, with my limited human mind, can determine, there are still people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me in support of views like these.” [26]
      ‏Question: "Why did Einstein find it so difficult to answer yes or no to the existence of a Creator?" Was it based on science or illusions?
      ‏He was asked: Why did Anthony retreat from atheism? Is this regression based on science or illusions ؟
      ‏And what do they all believe in one Creator?
      ‏This creation, the structure of the universe, the
      ‏foods, the tongue that tastes, the teeth that grind, the stomach that digests, the excretion of waste from the body, oxygen, the lungs, the eyes, the sexual desire and many other things, this does not indicate anything. Are you 100% sure of not having a creator?
      ‏ Rivers and seas and the creatures in them and the rain that sows the earth beyond
      ‏ It is very with lots of fruits
      ‏ Nothing creates something
      ‏Are you 100% sure of not having a creator?
      ‏Go and see what religion commands you to worship. One Creator created everything, no three, no more, no less, but one. Go and see for yourself, you will find only one religion
      But I will remind you of something you may have forgotten. And I want you to think about it. You are here in this world against your will. Just think a little bit that you are not here. By your own choice. You are here by choice.Choose to be here.He is one and you will go.. The matter is not easy, the matter is great in this existence, because whoever is able to bring you into this world against your will, after death, will either find you in grace and beauty that you have not seen, or torment and fear. which you have not seen.
      ‏Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is a prophet from the Creator, and before him many prophets did not lie or deceive, and he is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator who created everything.
      ‏First of all, you should know that the religion of all prophets is the worship of one Creator who created everything. Islam today is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator and not idols, illusions, conjecture or a number of gods. But how do we know that the speech is from God and not from Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace? . These are some of the things that comfort your heart and believe that this is a prophet and many of the prophets before him
      This evidence appears generation after generation. The generation that lived with the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, witnessed miracles, and I collected for you what this generation has. in which we live
      ‏ The Almighty said: (Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke)
      ‏ The smoke confirms that the origin of this universe is inflamed. It is not a lake of water, as was the perception of all philosophies and religions that are based on illusion. This is one of the postulates of modern science today that the sky is condensation of smoke. This fact converted the French scientist Maurice to Islam and wrote a book entitled the Holy Qur’an on the scale of modern science
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏ The Almighty says: ((And the heaven We constructed))
      ‏ The sky is a building, not a vacuum as it was thought, and this was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017 that proved it
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏The Almighty’s saying: ((And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.
      )).
      ‏ That is, the sky expands with time. This fact, even in the time of Einstein, was not imagined by anyone and it was proven. And Einstein admitted it and admitted that it was the biggest scientific mistake he made in his life if he believed that the sky was fixed. The Qur’an before Einstein says that the sky expands
      ‏fact
      ‏ Almighty’s saying: :((And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.
      )).
      ‏ The verse of the night is the moon and the verse of the day is the sun. The Qur'an tells that the sun and the moon were fiery masses. That is, the moon was a fiery mass and was erased, and the verse of the day remained visible to the eyes. Was the moon a fiery mass and extinguished? This is one of the biggest scientific issues discovered about the moon. The moon was already a fiery mass, and NASA issued on its official website a conceptual clip entitled The Evolution of the Moon in the video. In fact, the moon was a fiery mass like the sun, and this is what the Qur’an told about and the truth of modern science.
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏Almighty’s saying
      ‏And you see the mountains thinking that they are rigid, while you will cross as the passage of clouds. [It is] the work of God who has perfected everything. In fact, he knows what you're doing.))
      ‏ And the verse clearly spoke of a strange phenomenon, which is that the viewer of the mountains appears to him still, that is, they are still, but in fact they are not like that, rather they are in a state of constant movement. And the infidels of Quraish had previously accused our master Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, of madness, and it is likely that their joy was overwhelming when this verse was revealed.
      ‏ They also found in it, according to their claim, evidence of this madness, and they told the people: How can you believe this man who says that these fixed mountains move like clouds moving in the sky!
      ‏ And today it is proven that the earth rotates, and with it the mountains, how did Muhammad know that and why is he telling you instead of the matter that makes people consider him crazy? The matter was not from him, but from God.
      .
      Almighty’s saying
      ‏Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe)).
      ‏After man was able to reach the sky by flying by modern means of transportation, he knew that the higher up in the air, the less oxygen and atmospheric pressure, which causes severe tightness in the chests and the process of breathing. :
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before? It was not from him, but from God
      Almighty’s saying
      ‏Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light!
      ‏Modern sciences have revealed that in the bottom of the deep seas with abundant water - the deep sea - there is great darkness, to the extent that living creatures live in this darkness without visual tools, but live using their other senses such as hearing.
      ‏These dark darknesses are not found in the sea water that surrounds the Arabian Peninsula, but rather they have been discovered in the oceans far from it
      ‏This verse shows another aspect of the Qur’anic miracle, which is that the sea wave that all people only knew was one wave in the seas
      ‏The verse says there is another wave in the depths of the sea, and divers discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century a fact that was hidden in the depths of the sea, that fact that shows another wave that throws divers into it as it is thrown at swimmers, and this wave was discovered by Scandinavian divers.
      .I will tell you what the Prophet said. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: One day the Bedouins who live in the desert will build tall towers, and this is my duty. Go and see where the
      tallest buildings are and who owns them.
      ‏God Almighty: ((We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?)
      And God informed the Qur’an of this by saying: “Did you think that we created you without a purpose and that you would never return to us?”
      ‏All these and other matters that I have not mentioned indicate that this is a prophet from God..More important than that, as I told you, is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator, who created everything and before him many prophets
      ‏Say, if you wish, there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God

    Here's something that gets me.
    If you go out at night, somewhere with dark skies and look up, you might think: "Wow. That's a lot of stars. The universe is so vast..." Or something like that.
    If you know where to look, you'll see a little blurry blob of light. That's the Andromeda Galaxy.
    That is the only thing easily visible to the naked eye that's outside of our galaxy.
    Everything else you can see up there (unless you have a telescope and/or an incredibly clear dark sky) is a star in this one galaxy. Mostly in our little section of the galaxy.

      @@pootthatbak2578 - One of the best proof is the Hubble Constant and Cepheid Variable stars. Cepheid Variables shine the same pattern in any distance. Yet the farther away they are the more red shifted they become. This confirms they are moving away because space is also expanding at each distance mark. At some point this continues until the distant sky becomes black. The night sky appears black because light from distant stars redshifts to until its no longer visible to us.

      We're not evolved to experience phenomena at such a vast scale. For that matter, we can't experience phenomena at microscopic scales either, much less quantum scales.
      Nevertheless, we can very ably WORK at those scales, by means of mathematics for the ideas, and by using various instruments and devices for the physical interactions. Our own evolutionary limitations are not really slowing us down much at all, now that we have science to help us.
      I'm remembering back to high school chemistry: Avogadro's Number is 6.02x10^23. That's the number of molecules in one Mole of something. Weigh out one mole of something on your kitchen scale and you'll have roughly that many molecules of it sitting right there. That's 60200000000000000000000 molecules. I might have missed a zero there.
      Of course we can't experience that particular number in anything like the way we can experience a crowd of half a million people at Woodstock. We can't see radio waves either, even though we can see light.

      ‏After man was able to reach the sky by flying by modern means of transportation, he knew that the higher up in the air, the less oxygen and atmospheric pressure, which causes severe tightness in the chests and the process of breathing. :
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before? It was not from him, but from God
      Almighty’s saying
      ‏Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light!
      ‏Modern sciences have revealed that in the bottom of the deep seas with abundant water - the deep sea - there is great darkness, to the extent that living creatures live in this darkness without visual tools, but live using their other senses such as hearing.
      ‏These dark darknesses are not found in the sea water that surrounds the Arabian Peninsula, but rather they have been discovered in the oceans far from it
      ‏This verse shows another aspect of the Qur’anic miracle, which is that the sea wave that all people only knew was one wave in the seas
      ‏The verse says there is another wave in the depths of the sea, and divers discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century a fact that was hidden in the depths of the sea, that fact that shows another wave that throws divers into it as it is thrown at swimmers, and this wave was discovered by Scandinavian divers.
      .I will tell you what the Prophet said. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: One day the Bedouins who live in the desert will build tall towers, and this is my duty. Go and see where the
      tallest buildings are and who owns them.
      ‏God Almighty: ((We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?)
      And God informed the Qur’an of this by saying: “Did you think that we created you without a purpose and that you would never return to us?”
      ‏All these and other matters that I have not mentioned indicate that this is a prophet from God..More important than that, as I told you, is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator, who created everything and before him many prophets
      ‏Say, if you wish, there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God
      ‏ speak from the heart

But, if it took that long to reach us, how the hell do we know it's still there and hasn't been snuffed out? It will take another 100,000+ years for us to see it blink out.

      - the food chain - every species has its source of nutrition
      - water - we drink it, use it to cook, wash, and play. Is there anything better than water as a drink?
      - our consciousness - how does inanimate matter join together to become aware, and reasons?
      - family and bonds of love and affection - how does inanimate matter come together to form these complex feelings of love, Mercy, generosity and altruism?
      - the fact that we exist and can ponder over such things is a huge sign itself. Nothing comes from nothing. Something or someone had to exist as a first, eternal being, that started it all.
