Do you think it is all an illusion?

Honestly, when I see the night sky I sometime ask God to, when I die, let me spend a few thousand years just touring the universe. I'd like to see more of it because it's all so spectacular.

I think it is beautiful and a mystery. I can't wait to explore it all one day after I'm dead and free from the physical world. I think there is tons of life out there that's just too far away or maybe in a realm we can't see. Once I was looking in the sky and it was full of stars when this one huge bright light that looked like a star flashed. It was several times bigger than any other star in the sky and was golden while the others were small and white. It couldn't have been a shooting star because it was too fast and they don't disappear and reappear like this thing did. It disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later across the sky and the distance had to have been light years across the sky. I never saw it again but I knew that whatever or whoever that light was it was not man-made because it was moving too fast. I know there is life out there because I saw it with my own eyes!

no, i don't think for a minute that it's an illusion. i am just awed by the infinity of it, it's beautiful! rain and snow fall from the sky, meteors have crashed through peoples' roofs and that certainly isn't an illusion. the town i live in was built inside of a crater so a meteor had to make that too. i believe that it was all created by God.

Well, the night sky is composed of elements of matter
so it's not infinite. Very big, but not infinite.
But the wonders of God's creation can be seen in a flower or the flight of a bee as much as in the sky or the planets or the wide universe. Those wonders and that universe is all real - no illusion.
God doesn't play tricks.

I don't have Christian eyes.
Just an Atheist. Who sees a few very large spheres of hydrogen undergoing nuclear fusion.
I only see a few because I live close to sea level, in a valley that traps smog and near enough to a city that light pollution wipes out all but the brightest stars.
I have seen the stars from several different camps above 10,000 feet. On a clear night, you can see forever. It is impressive. And that is just one echo of the Big Bang. One echo in billions of echos.

Chuckie,
I do not know what you are talking about. I see the beauty that our FATHER has painted. The beauty ion the stars and our sun shines in the Moon throughout the evening skies. GOD created each and everything that you and I see in the daytime and in the night skies. HE has given us the ability to live and to die. At death HE has given us the ability to go to Heaven to be with HIM Forever. What an opportunity that is!
Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. HEAR - Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
2. BELIEVE - In Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
3. REPENT - Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
4. CONFESS CHRIST - 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
5. BE BAPTIZED - Romans 6:3-4 do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
6. CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Jesus said in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

When I look at the night sky with my atheist eyes, I realize that life is much more complex than we can ever hope to realize...and there is no way man is the most intelligent life form in the universe.

in case you are able to't determine a reddish colour, even such as your bare eye, it really is maximum likely no longer Mars. in accordance such as your description, it would want to both be Saturn, which takes on a yellowish colour, Jupiter, or Venus. and not using a telescope or binocular you are able to't truly tell otherwise.

Well, when I look at the night sky with my 'pagan' eyes, I realize that I am small and insignificant, but also individual and greater than I think I am in that individuality.
I also realize that there's a lot of light pollution in Southern California.
