As these real experiences have settled deeply in , thinking about the vastness of time & the beauty of what fills all this space , waking up early in the am up on the top of Half Dome or watching the sunrise off over the North Shore of Kauaii , one only thinks the greater of all that is Nature or what you would call "God" . Looking out thru 24inch telescopes at M13 ontop of Glacier Pt Yosemite with astrophyiscist from all over the world. That Galaxy is bare pinpoint of light in the sky but inside that 24in teescope u gaze at a milky way like our own 100s of million light years distant. To see this vast rolling stretch of time, to be humbled by the shear monumentalness of it & your smallness yet unique ability to even grasp a tiny part of it....this makes "God" even greater, vastly greater. I can't understand the impulse to diminsh such a creator with such childlike fantasies that ring of such instaneous miracles but reality is infinitely greater miracle. You shud teach that to kids really, that nothing worthwhile happens overnight, including Creation itself. To each to his own, Moses must have seen though and surely comprehended up on his own mountain top, this is how religion gets born, the awe of the vastness of things & their preciousness. PS: those tiny camel fossils, sad to think that God made them only to go extinct so quicly, so unfair , or did they grow to 16 hands tall in just a century or so & just fly over to the Middle East from South Dakota?
