God says the whole universe is about as wide as His hand.

[piytar]

My bet is that God was being generous with that statement, probably to make it comprehensible for His audience at the time.

Our universe is finite. Very VERY big, but finite.

He is infinite.

To scale: The universe is probably smaller than even His palm (if He chooses to have such). That means our galaxy is about the size of a tiny portion of His fingernail (again, if He chooses to have such). This planet? About the size of a piece of lint on that fingernail. Each of us? Maybe an atom in that piece of lint.

But He still cared enough to come down here in a mortal form and die for our sins. Wrap your head around that, people.

PS Yeah, I’m sure this sounds like hyperbole to unbelievers. It’s not.

What’s to say but, HOW GREAT THOU ART?
