Life out there? I totally and absolutely stake my life on it. Did a god do it? No.

Actually, its quite the opposite.
How can a person think that the same thing that created all the stars, galaxies, etc. be the same person that cannot heal the sick, stop wars, and defeat the 'devil'?

looks like those are all closeby, when in reality theyre probably MILLIONS of light years apart.
They also look small in the picture, but think: some of these can possibly be larger then the Messier Galaxy.
IMMENSE galaxies, just TEEMING with life.
It simply boggles my mind.
Young Ellie: Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?
Ted Arroway: I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.

think of the cells that make up the human body, there are spaces between them, but as a whole entity, they function in unison, which leaves me with a question...
what do the galaxies form? and perhaps we can only seem them move really slowly, the speed of light, but perhaps they are making up a bigger form?
