Area_boy:

clearly you had nothing important to say so you decided to quote the damn thing three times in a row.

If you guys are really honest, you'll ask yourselves the questions I pose and give an answer rather than trash the entire thread because it offers a different view from what you were all brought up to believe. Nonsense

musKeeto: lol.... truthislight, wetin happen?

Delafruita: trolling is a profession for truthislight

Delafruita: [b]and what makes you think a suckling infant is more valuable that a full-grown elephant?[/b]are you an elephant?if a mother elephant has to choose between her baby elephant and a suckling infant,will she discard her baby for a suckling infant?suckling infants are valuable to their mothers because they are of the same specie.a gorilla will pick its own before a human's.same as a goat,bird,chimpanzee,dog and every other animal no matter how small they may be.those anjimals you think are significant are actually complex in their own way.do humans have the intelligence to change colours like a chameleon does?can we produce spikes like a porcupine?can we produce defense mechanisms like almost all the animals do?you get it wrong when you think humans are the epitome of "creation" and all other animals are subservient to us.in the animal world,humans are just animals like the others

Areaboy2:
I have a couple of pictures to give you a little perspective of how tiny and infinitesimal we are when it comes to the grand scale of things in the universe.

So before you go around saying we were "created in his image and likeness", put here to take care of the earth for "him" and then be judged on how we do it before returning back to heaven, I want you to consider the following pictures and ask yourself. WHY bother with so much else?

Mind you, none of these were mentioned in any of the "holy" books.
Take a few seconds.. relax and marvel at our galaxy. Everything you see is contained in our milky way galaxy alone. except of course the last picture


lets start from the smallest shall we? Although it is important to point out that pluto is no longer a planet. However, we can replace that with our moon since they are no much bigger than themselves, prolly 1/2

At this point, our little planet is still pulling its weight around the "big boys" or should i say the "rocky boys". Or is it?



welcome to the world of gas. With no solid surface to stand on, these balls of gas find it easier getting so big because well, gas expands and contracts much better than earth (rock) does

As big as they seem, compare them to our sun (the major gas giant we have in our solar system) and they are immediately puny in size

can u see us there?


Our sun is really big!! 90million kilometers away from us and 1.3million kilometers in diameter, it is BIG!!! But how does she measure up with some other biggies around the block? Not very well i'm afraid

That monster Arcturus is the 4th brightest star you see at night. Right behind Sirius (since Sirius is a lot closer to us it appears brighter)


Compared to my favourite star Betelgeuse (you can actually see Betelgeuse with your naked eye at night) and his monster cousin Antares, Arcturus is a baby

Tips on how to spot Betelgeuse: On any clear night sky, (if you're near the Equator like Nigeria, it wouldn't matter what time of the year) try to spot three stars in a straight line separated by a fingers length when u stretch your arms upwards (Usually called "the three kings" ). Try to align these three stars on one hand (preferably left) there will be four stars forming a rectangle around these three. The top left one with a reddish twinkle is Betelgeuse. and the bottom right one in the square is Rigel


As big as these stars get, they are really insignificant compared to our medium sized galaxy.




Finally, how many galaxies out there? seemingly just as many as the number of stars



everything you see there is a galaxy .






I ask the question one more time.

How significant do you think we are?
