Thank you for sharing your insights!

But space itself is not boundless, or "unlimited volume." There is no "edge of the finite universe," no way to get outside of the space of the universe and look back at it.

Truly said. God, however, can see "all that there is" all at once.

True that. And in this vast but limited, amazing, violent, and bizarre universe of space, time, matter and energy, He's provided a safe environment for fragile life.

The details long gone from my memory, my college chemistry professor gave a lecture on the concurrent chemical happenings that make up a single cell organism. A protective shell (cell wall), means to convert "food" into other forms, means to replicate. While any one of these can happen randomly, the chances of all, in the same place, at the same time, arranged to effect living and reproducing in a sea of chemicals that tends to stop the process ... no matter how it came off, it is amazing.

And that's a single cell, far removed from the wonder of complex life-forms, and that removed from the wonder of possessing independent, rational thought. "Blessed" is a gross understatement.

And on this day we are reminded of another gift. The ultimate sacrifice of His own human life - that in conquering death, believers in Him might too.
