I'm also in awe of the universe, but I come away encouraged. Psalm 8 looks at these same thoughts from a different perspective. We are infinitesimally small, but not unknown.

Thank you for exposing me to the Psalm, I found it beautiful.

There is something about ancient texts and mythology that when put in a juxtaposition with modern advancements truly makes me appreciate humanity and how far we've come. It adds a completely new emotional layer to it, dare I say spiritual?

I hope one day I'll have the time to read the Bible, purely out of intellectual curiosity and historical appreciation.

I blame the Civilization series.

I highly recommend it; definitely worth the time. Just be warned that you might just fall in love with Jesus. I did.
