It’s a reminder that we are so small compared to the larger mysterious universe filled with worlds and possible life elsewhere where people are having ongoing problems too. It’s a reminder that death is not only in our world but also out in the darkness of space. Even these large planets and suns eventually die and new ones are born and life continues.

Compared to the full range of reality that we can access with the science and math tools we've developed, our bodies are laughably incapable of experiencing it in a meaningful or intuitive way. But we are exceedingly good at understanding our tiny slice of reality, because that's what our brains were made for.

Something about the idea that you will live forever in some paradise dulls the experience of life. Once you come to terms with that it's not forever, you'll begin living. Religious people have said to me my life must be empty and have no purpose. How wrong they are. And how ironic that is. Some guy stumbling through life under the haze of religious hypnotism who thinks some god is watching and judging every move he makes saying my life is shit. Yeah, right.

Among these miracles said to be found in the Quran are "everything, from relativity, quantum mechanics, Big Bang theory, black holes and pulsars, genetics, embryology, modern geology, thermodynamics, even the laser and hydrogen fuel cells"
      Check this out bro if you like science try it out! Its like a spoiler book that tells you what’s happening now and future! Also Surah Dhariyat Miraculous Verse
      As per Quran, the word heaven refer to what lies above the Earth. ... This phrase thus means “We expand the sky or the universe to a great extent.” This is the outcome that science has arrived today, and the Quran mentioned such a fact centuries before the invention of the first telescope.

We marvel at our creations and get completely lost within it. So lost, in fact, that we assume these things are the true nature of our reality. So how is it that these things, which essentially only exist within the bounds our own minds, are more real than the forces of the physical world that dictate not only humans, but all aspects of reality from the smallest particle to the largest galaxy?
