is it just me or is there two images that can be seen at the top center of the video if you pause it at 1 minute 10 seconds ?

Re: Heather Marsh: Your assessment of your beliefs and surroundings you've described certainly tells it like it is and should be. I never gave it a lot of thought because I was too tied up in just trying to survive in this rat race. We live in a world of people that lie so much that they don't even know what to believe themselves. I for one have always tried to learn as much as I could and when computer classes was over I still wanted the class to last longer, because I felt that there was so much more to learn. I have this belief about who God really is and after a long time of chasing it back and forth in my mind, I came to the conclusion that with this brain of ours so much like a computer; And the bible saying God was made in our image, I feel like each and everyone of us is God and to do yourself wrong is the worst sin of all. I could go on and on with examples and I'm sure everyone else can too, after they start to thinking about this and all that the bible say's. Each of us are individuals, but we also have the same chances in life as far as our way of thinking is concerned. Even when I was very young I heard of things I thought would never come to be, but they did and almost anything I could dream up back 70 years ago have come to be and from this conclusion I figured out that anything is possible that you can think up or kick around in your mind; Try it and then if you live as long as I have you will see these things come true. Just like Buck Rodgers in space and water made into Hydrogen fuel. If we all think about it, even if you hurt someone else, your only hurting yourself, as your conscious is your God, and each of is our own God. And that is as close as I have come to trying to figure out who God is. The big bang happened just a little while ago, although they say it was billions of years ago; And if the next 50 years go by as fast as the last 50 years, I'm afraid to blink my eyes, because looking back on it my memory is my life and when it is gone even though I live on, I no longer exist. Now I'll dream about this tonight! Maybe you will too.

Will i thought i would put my two cents in,lol If you wont to know if God is real ask him to reveal himself to you,

I ask God for two angel's ps i got both.

That was a beautiful picture of God's creation.

If i have 20 buck's and you wont it,you will never get it until you ask for it.

I am a christian with the holy spirit, and have gift 7 .That is the vision gift,which let's me see the humband spirit,the holy spirit on people,and demon's on people,demon's are not fallen angel's,

As we have thing's we can do with the software man come's up with so does God have software that he can let people use,to bring about his purpose for your life,

Who do you wont to spend forever with,? A person that reject's truth are a winner ,who has all truth.and all power

I disagree with redlilac that people shouldn't be expressing personal philosophies in this forum; that's what makes life so interesting - hearing people's views and beliefs on so many things. True, some comments do become pedantic and 'off track' but generally I like to read and muse on the variety of responses; its good to check your beliefs against others, using the intellect you have. At times I do think to myself 'how naive" or "what a lack of spirit and emotion" or "Yes, I agree wholeheartedly" - but regardless of all views, as long as each person maintains a positive regard for others and avoids personal attacks, it does no-one any harm - its even character building sometimes to hear what the 'other side' thinks (atheists or God Believers, depending on your own point-of-view)! For me, I can't look at a pounding ocean on a stormy day, or a new baby's tiny toenails, or the structure of a cell, or photo of a snowflake in its uniqueness, without knowing that this has all been designed by a Great and Awesome Mind.

We look at beautiful paintings and great architecture, and we would NEVER think to ourselves "Isn't it fascinating, the way that picture has evolved all by itself - its just developed out of the canvas over time". No. We see, and we know there is an artist or designer! Why then do some not apply this same rule to nature? A simple building can't erect itself but millions of cells can work in unison and organisms, minerals and planets, nutrient filled water and universes apparently manage to do so without a designer. Now that's seems a strange logic to me! Or maybe its not logic but faith.

One of my little favourites when a person tells me they don't believe in God, is to just let them know, "Well, that's o.k. for now because God certainly believes in you!"

"I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens..." (Gen.22:17) - - A prescient statement. We can either hold on to our limited turf here through Luciferian eugenics, or spill out into the universe, as the most perfect species for the task, with an innate knowing that we are a culmination of the process of Creation.

I often questioned the stance of the pro-lifers, but now see that it will quicken the necessityand science to expand the base for humanity,.. and space is endless to grow our garden.

I don't typically write in these forums, but this is the exception.

We watched an awe-inspiring video, and both people of faith and those without faith have turned an extraordinary experience into a pathetic excuse to bash each other. With a few exceptions, you should all be ashamed of yourselves for such juvenile behavior.

I know many scientists. Many of them are deeply devout believers in their particular faiths. I know many non-scientists. Many of them have no belief system whatsoever. The people self-righteously claiming such inanities that evolution is only a "theory" have no concept of what a scientific theory is, and are showing their total ignorance. The common use of the word theory does not mean the same thing as a scientific theory.

Look, people, use your brains AND use your faith - there is absolutely no reason that science and religion conflict. The two don't conflict for anyone who is familiar with the scientic method and familiar with the bible. Even evolution fits into the bible, for those capable of reading it, and those who know what scientific theory is.

How sad that that this video has inspired so many to try to insult and hurt each other, playing "my belief/disbelief is better than yours" and showing off their own ignorance and bigotry on both sides of the arguement.

There is no conflict between faith and science - only conflict between people who don't think before they open their mouths (or keyboards) and flaunt their hate for everyone to see. Because that is all most of you (again, the exceptions know who you are) have been doing - displaying the hatred and intolerance of the ignorant.

I am going back to comptemplating the beauty of the universe - and weeping over the ugliness of so many of my fellow human beings.

God is wonderfull, he greated such fantastic beatifull things for us to discover. Dear Reverend Alan sorry to dissapoint you but there IS a GOD who created all these things, including us humans and the earth. Strange that people can imagine how this fantastic planet the only one in our solar system who can sustain life evolved from nothing, including humans, animals and plants. HOW CAN NOTHING CREATED SOMETHING, as believed in the big bang and evolusion theories???????? I can't wait to meet God and find out just how FANTASTIC, MAJESTIC, MASGNIFISANT HE really is. And no I don't believe there is a God because my Mommy told me so, I believe there is a God because I can feel him, he speaks to me and I can truly say beyond any reasonable doubt that there is a God who created everything. Please try to find a video of Kevin Hovind, he was a science teacher who teaches on evolution, and it might shed some light on this for you. Be blessed!

Buddha is good, Allah is good, God is good, Vishnu is good, Energy/Qi is good...... it's what people's perspectives make this world an interesting/killing place. People see the same beautiful pictures but all with different opinions..... So who's right & who's wrong??? Everyone is right & wrong...... But the fact the universe is 'There' is the truth..... whether 'someone' created it or from an big 'explosion'...... what does it matter?? The matter is we are 'here' to experience the wonders of Hubble Deep Field which those scifi artists were painting/spraying not long ago but now in their actual physical reality is truly magnificant.

Please don't forget, it was only a few centuries ago that we proved the earth is not flat & now we're peering into the beginnings of time & to imagine what the James Webb Space Telescope will bring to us when it becomes operational.... maybe we can even see other earth equivalents in the nearby star systems, anything is possible & breath taking even to imagine that!!!

Kassie, Carl Sagan did not come up with the Big Bang theory. It was Georges Lemaître, a Belgian physicist and Roman Catholic priest.

Betcha didn't know NASA crashed the Galileo into Jupiter. Problem was it had 30 some pounds of plutonium aboard. Amateur astronomers reported an Earth-sized explosion hole/cloud anomaly that appeared near Jupiter's equator.

Now the devils at NASA are up to it again: this time, their insane plan to crash Cassini into Saturn, polluting that planet with 72 pounds of plutonium.

Project Lucifer claims to explain NASA's occult-secret plan to ignite a gas giant. Fact: Jack Parsons (see wikipedia) was a top guy at NASA for years. Just so happened he wrote over 20 occult books.

Wonder where all this is going? Take a look at where it came from, and at what they're not publicizing.

I went to a convention in March 2008 where one of the speakers discussed the moving away of galaxies and how we are at the most unique point in history to be able to see this. Way future generations would think they are alone in the universe if they did not retain the documentation from our time and had to rely on their vision alone. I believe his discoveries were published in Scientific American for either March or April.

I wish we could just discuss these things without the interjection of personal philosophies in it. It takes away from the discussion of the wonder and magnificence of it all. I know Dr. Mercola started it by using the word “divine” in his comments. But I’m an Atheist and these little blog posts are not going to convert me into a god believer. Likewise, nothing I say here will enlighten you to my way of thinking. The number of people who believe in a god is more mind boggling to me than the size of the universe is. I would assume that my non-belief is just as mind boggling to a true believer. So let’s just talk health and science here.

Dr. Mercola. I have been a silent reader for years, but this is amazing. Thank you so much for bringing information to us. I learn a lot in your website. It is one of my favorites.

I, as a Christian truly know in my heart that God is real. As for seeing him, I do. I see him every day in all things. I feel him in my heart. I do not condemn those who do not believe but I wish they did. For they are missing out on so much. As for the stereotyping of Christians as being perfect, or believing that we are, is wrong. We are all sinners and can never please God. Only by his grace are we saved. Jesus died for us all whether we believe it or not. Christians sin no less than anyone else. Why we should always strive to be Christ like, it is impossible. We are no more perfect than anyone else. We fail every day. My prayer is for people to stop thinking of us as they do. We simply believe that what God says is so. Right and wrong are laid out. There is no gray area for God. Tolerance is a good thing but not if it is used as a free pass to sin against God. I also pray that we as a society can once again go back to actually discussing our differances and debate without bringing hatred into it. I see so much hatred in America, and the persecution of Christians is becoming frightening. Love the sinner, hate the sin. God bless.

Oh! As for the video.....absolutely stunning! I'm hoping that heaven will have super highways to all the places in the universe. No wonder God promises eternal life. It would take an eternity to visit it all!
