To: Hebrews 11:6

In the relative size of the galaxy our sun is just an insignificant speck amongst all the other stars there and would not stand out.

Of course--it is just one of the Milky Way's 100,000,000,000+ stars. My point was simply that most definitely "we're NOT about an inch up and an inch to the right of the bright star in the lower left hand corner. One of those little orange stars is NOT our sun." Our sun appears that insignificant from the proper distance, but the camera that took that image orbits earth and our sun would appear to it to be immense.

Your point as to our relative insignificance is well-made, but your visual example is factually incorrect. I don't care, but if you present it to others the error may cause them to reject your point.
