“If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.” - C.S. Lewis
I'm laying here in my bed, and I see the beam from the moon shine through my window on to my pillow. I don't know if it is just me, but space and what lies beyond it has always fascinated me. It is uncomprehendably (yes, I made that up) big, yet comprehendably beautiful. Our solar system is so small compared to others, and our sun is like an atom when sized up to our biggest known star. And this is just scratching the surface of our galaxy, the Milky Way- is small too, like our sun, compared to other galaxies; galaxies are separated by dark space- billions of light years apart. Billions. That's like, our deficit converted to length. What if all of it is just one big backdrop like in an aquarium, and if we were ever able to travel that far in space, we would just run into an "invisible barrier?" It sometimes makes you wonder why is it so big. I know you are already thinking, "To show God's glory," but I want to believe there is more. I don't know if it is my childish thinking sometimes, but I want to believe there are aliens. Not those bug-eyed typical aliens you see in the movies, but other creatures that can reason and logic like us. I guess I'm just so fascinated with space and sci-fi, but I really want to believe there is other life. Maybe God is playing "god" and is having a redemption with other species on other planets, creating life and sustaining it? Who knows? I try not to wrap my mind around it too much, but sometimes when I look up in the sky, I can't help but ask, "What's beyond the stars?"
