Galaxies and galaxies and galaxies and galaxies and galaxies and galaxies and galaxies and galaxies and galaxies....

From the Sciences and Cosmology web page:

"Want me to tell you something that will blow your mind or make you lose sleep?

Well, look at this picture.

Each of those dots you see is a GALAXY...

And each GALAXY has roughly 100BILLION STARS.

Also, each STAR has at least 1 PLANET.

Now how many galaxies do you think there can be in that picture?

And this is just a photograph of a very little parcel of the universe.

This makes me lose sleep, thinking about how so insignificant we really are. Lol."

“Every star has at least one planet”

Is this verified?
Did you see every star and verify that each star had a planet
That is speculation and there is no room in science for speculation!

” ... thinking about how so insignificant we really are.”

If I may add my version: “ ... thinking about how so very special we really are.”

Snopes says it's TRUE.

It’s a great, big universe
And we’re all really puny

We’re just tiny little specks

We could explore the stars.

But first, we need to explore our own gender-fluid identities.

Someone else put it pretty well:

“No matter how big the Universe... Remove so much as one grain of sand and it is not the same.

“You matter... Unless you try to travel at the speed of light, in which case you will probably convert to energy...”

Might give one pause when it comes to complaining to the creator of all that about the stuff going on in their life…

Suppose it is all just a simulation on a vast computer.

Each one of those galaxies, represented down to the subatomic particle.

I imagine the RAM on that computer would be pretty big, maybe even large enough to house my porn collection.... though I doubt it.

Well, our star has eight planets, so we cover for at least seven stars with no planets.

We used to have nine planets, but Pluto must have had something to do with 18th Century slave owners, so it was cancelled...

And imagine how many planets have beings living on them and they have huge telescopes looking out at (us) the cosmos, wondering if they’re the only ones around.

It’s foolish to believe we are alone in the universe given the quadrillions (probably a huge understatement) of planets out there.

“Every star has at least one planet”

More critically, every planet has at least one star.

The sheer beauty of our Lord is that, with all the other stuff He's got to worry about, He knows and cares for each one of us.

And probably all the other life forms He has created on all His planets in all His galaxies.

And in all that vastness, God chose to make me. And You. Each and every one of us, specifically and individually. He thinks of EVERYTHING.
