You Are Here

“God” has set in motion a very large and very old universe. We as humans can only pretend to understand it's vastness and age.

We believe things about it that may or may not be true. Some believe we are the only beings that god hath wrought. I find it difficult to understand why a god would create such a marvelous thing and then place us on a "Small Blue Marble" somewhere on a lonely edge of an unfathomably large galaxy.

Cosmologically, we are in the Boondocks of the Milky Way Galaxy in a spiral arm called the Orion Arm. It is lonely out here.

Some thrive on this isolation and are content to just live out their lives in quite solitude. Others allow it to consume them with fear and mistrust of what is outside. Others are spurred to want to leave and see what else is going on in the limitlessness of space. I am among the latter.

There are those "out there" that must also feel this urge to see what else God has created. It is well within reason to believe that there are civilizations that are much, much older than ours and far, far more advanced, both technologically and spiritually, than ours. There are probably those that may well be more advance technologically but are spiritually bankrupt. Then there may be those that are, so far, stuck on their marble in their corner of their Galaxy.

There is nothing to stop them from coming here but for their ingenuity. There is nothing to stop us from going there but for our ingenuity.

I know we are trying.
