reminds me of a thing that benny hinn talked about. He said imagine god was looking at the earth which to him was a tiny speck of dust, and there was a person there who looks to god something as small as a tiny speck of dust that was on the tiny speck of dust that is earth. And this person thought that they could understand everything about something as big as god

But size is not a barrier to inquiry or knowledge. The sun is massive, but we have a fair idea of how it works. Virus' are very small but we have a good idea about how they infect cells. Why would god being large mean we could not understand him/it/her/them/whatever?

what do you mean 'being'? And if you're suggesting that size and complication are proportional then you're wrong, because a cell is more complicated, structurally, than a star. If you are suggesting that complication is a barrier to understanding then you're sort of right, it does slow us down, but it isn't a barrier given enough time. I don't suggest we understand everything, or we even could, but there seems to be few limits.

You know as well as any of those ppl on this video, or any bum or any 9 to 5 worker that MANS DAYS ARE NUMBERED. Its not like man alone is going to live forever.. Coz eternal life comes from this 'being' and i know that u know what im talking bout, and eternal life is something man will never achieve alone, so dont try and say that man has the ability to fully understand you know who!

"you know who" - You mean Voldemort is coming!? HARRY, SAVE US!
of course we are not eternal, homo sapiens will go extinct some day. According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics nothing can be eternal as all energy ends up as entropy, though that will be long after we are gone. Why would i be scared of death, anymore than I would be afraid of the dark. Life scares me - thrills me and fills me with joy & wonder as well.

If you look at darknlooking's version of pale blue dot, it may make more sense. Carl Sagan explains how seeing the earth from many light years away puts our planet - the species on it, the human wars, ideologies, and short histories, in perspective. We're on a fragile environment, and it's the only place we have to live.

i will never say there is no god....only that GOD is merely a manifestation, of our seeming need to believe in a being with greater power and consciousness then the wondrous world around us...with in us...
merely a in comprehensible concept of creation...when in reality...there is no creation...or destruction...only change....ONLY CHANGE....
