When I was a child I can remember that I seemed to have been playing in a Sand Box. These sand boxes were quite common when I was a child. I remember looking up in the sky and seeing a shinny object it remained for a while then it just disappeared.
When I was a child we lived in San Francisco and this event has always puzzled me, because as a child of maybe 6 years old, why would i even be interested in what was in the sky above me. Who knows what may have happened I sure don’t because my memory of that event is blurred.
Maybe you’ve had a similar experience.
A quote sometimes attributed to Carl Sagan,
“The person that coined this phrase was James V. Screeton setting by a camp fire with friends on a clear stary night, near Canyon Dam Texas. Contemplating the meaning of our existence. The year was 1970. He said looking at the stars ” If god created the entire universe just for us, what an awful waste of space”. He also asked this question ” Is god our dream, or are we god’s dream.”
I tend to think the same way, what makes us think that we are the highest form of life in this vast universe?
