Earth in True Perspective
This taken from baba mail page
Everything is relative. You don't need to be Einstein to
understand that. A human is as big to an ant as a building may be to him.
However, the world always seems such a huge place; so many countries, cities,
forests, oceans, lakes, icebergs. So many animals and species. So much history.
But ever since we developed the ability to look beyond our
atmosphere, it became more and more apparent that our blue marble is tiny. Too
tiny to even comprehend, when compared to other planets, stars, galaxies and
the universe itself. So just to give you an idea of how tiny we really are here
on planet earth, here are some visual aids.
Given that there is an infinite (or near infinite) number of galaxies, stars, planets, it is impossible to comprehend that intelligent life,
in some form or other doesn't exist, or has never existed or will never exist.
Only religion can be true, for that to be a fact, which is something of a
contradiction in terms really.
So assuming intelligent life does exist or has existed or
will exist on other planets (if religion is not a fact) this means to the vast
majority of the universe, I do not exist yet, or have existed and I'm now dead.
We need to make the most of this wonderful coincidence that
we all happened to be living here on this single planet, in this single beautiful moment
in time, and pool our resources including love, especially love, to make
wonderful things happen, even if they are gone in a universal blink of an eye.
