Our Infinitesimal Place
It's almost depressing (or maybe funny?) to fathom that, once upon a time, the prevailing view was that God created the universe, life, humans in his image--everything--in just six days (alas, it still afflicts some of them); but what is truly, shockingly, embarrassingly mind-boggling is the agnosy whereby humankind was destructively fideistic, and the prolonged delusion it manifested, that we (our Earth, Sun, moon, God, existence, et cetera) are a significant part of the universe and God's grand scheme. It's easy to persuade oneself that outer space is full of gases, comets, planetoids, and insignificant stars with meaningless Suns in empty galaxies; while at the same time, believe that humankind's existence constitutes a divine, miraculous brane occupying a multidimensional macrocosm.
Science has shown us that the universe is stupendously more immense than we can imagine, but if you gaze at the photographs they captured, you can at least exude a faint breath over the incredible awe of the "infinite."
