The speed of light has been clocked at 186,000 miles per second. Even going that fast, it takes light from the son many minutes to get to earth, telling us that the sun is millions of miles away.
The Hubble space telescope has taken pictures of galaxies trillions of miles away. Each galaxy has billions of stars. Many stars have multiple planets, making billions of planets possible.
To get to the next closest star to our son, traveling at the speed of light, would take us 4.3 light years to get there because it is 25.8 trillion miles away. Imagine how long it would take us to get there by car.
Are we to believe that the trillions of miles of space were created for humans by a loving creator? Or is it more logical to believe that either there is no creator or the creator does not think much of us on our obscure little planet?
Is it logical to conceive of a creator large enough to have created the vastness of the universe and yet small enough to create the components of atoms.
