There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.
That's nothing compared to Mr. M after a bowl of chili.
Industrial Light and Magic, Marin, Ca can do all that and more in a warehouse using CGI.
You have to watch that Berthold Radiation coming from Omicron Ceti 3.
(Star Trek Reference...Mira is Omicron Ceti)
“The further along in college and post graduate education the more I became convinced of the fact that we are unique....because it makes no sense for us to exist by randomness.”
Really?
So far it appears as if life on Earth is “unique”....but considering the % of the universe we have explored, I’d prefer to think that the jury is still out on that point.
I always thought that it was odd that some people believe that we (humans on earth) are at the top of the galactic food chain......that we’re the pinnacle.
If nothing else... that a waste of real estate (the rest of the universe).
Whatever that means, I beleive you.
“If nothing else... that a waste of real estate (the rest of the universe).”
For it to be a waste of course would have to recognize “purpose” which, of course would mean at the very minimum someone directing everything and probably creating everything.
Damned SUVs!!!
"A long time ago
in a galaxy far, far away"
At the time when it came out, it helped me realize how young our part of the universe is.
Cosmically, we live somewhere up in Northern Canada....it's no wonder we never see anybody else!
Location. Location. Location.
Cordially,
And why is the trail curved like some Disney concept of a shooting star?
Wow, possible planting of new stars. I will fire up the cosmic John Deere cultivator as soon as I get the flux capacitor fixed!
It's the necromonger armada!
Thanks for posting this. B4L8r
DAMN BUSH TAX CUTS!! Even stars light years away are falling apart!
lofl
Galactic Warming! Calling Algore.....

I don't think of myself as the top of any "food" chain.....just a very,very, teeny, tiny, speck...
That's what amazes me. If you've got some science background think about the enormity of space...or even the size of our sun with the reactions going on to send heat and light out into the cosmos... then think of the inner workings of the inner ear. The way small hair follicles help to transmit the movement of fluids in 3 dimensions to you child's brain while she does a somersault...
Or the randomness of immense collections of empty space going on for distances that can't even be imagined, while our little planet has a temperature range that at it's coldest and hottest is very very moderate in galactic terms while allowing water to exist in ice, vapor and liquid form....
That the liquid is found in most living organisms, is a great polar solvent and with the help of a chain of events allows light to be converted from carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen to glucose and proteins......That those combinations of proteins can realign themselves to replicate and carry on the production of hormones, hair, eyes, ears, brain.....and on top of that to have self realization....
I'm amazed by it all.
Don't you think it's just "odd" that we even exist? That's why I started my path towards being a Christian.
I'm all the way to being a really crappy one now.... but I'm trying....and from what I can gather, that's a start.
