In other words, out there in the cosmos, the earth is not even a speck of dust..

and yet in that small insignificant but beautiful place, we are here and we are all in awe of our own existence and creation.. or are we?

I don' know about you but until somebody can convince me that there is human life out there somewhere in the cosmos, we are the center of the universe!

We should be in awe even if we are not. But you my friend have said what many have said. "We are here! We exist! and were created! No other statement has created so much controversy. Contemplate it we will, argue about it we might, Arrive at a collective conclusion we cannot. Like a dog who chases his tail the the question deserves an answer. But the answer only calls for more questions so many are stuck in an infinate loop.

Kurt Gödel once said Either mathematics is too big for the human mind or the human mind is more than a machine. I guess it's like saying “This Sentence is False”. It is easy to see that texts that reference themselves, even if they are as short as the example cited above, can lead to amusing or paradoxical results Which is what we humans often get ourselves into. paradoxical results.

Finally as you say "I don't know about you but until somebody can convince me that there is human life out there somewhere in the cosmos, we are the center of the universe! I have only to say "so far so good!!!

By the way, many thanks for sharing those images, they're quite humbling, to say the least.
