The universe – How big are you?
1 Dec 08 Update
Thanks for watching my video. I never thought it would reach more than a million views. I don’t interact too much because of my poor English. But there are a few things I need to set clear.
1. “Why did you stop at the Milky Way?”: Because I didn’t have more images.
2. This video is not about God. When I made it I wasn’t thinking in God, it’s more a video about humility and humanity. But each person interprets the video in a different way, and that’s okay.
3. I never said we humans are “insignificant”; saying that the true greatness is not in (or only in) the Earth doesn’t mean we are insignificant. I just wanted to say that we humans need to stop thinking we are te greatest thing in the universe, since we don’t know the universe well enough to say that. You don’t need to be the greatest thing in the universe to be significant.
4. Please excuse my terrible English, I know there are a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes in the video, but the important thing is the message of the video, and I know that the great majority of viewers understand that.
5. “The scales are wrong”: This was made two years ago, with some images I found in the web. Besides, as I said before, the important thing is the message. If you want correct scales search in a book and not in YouTube.

The universe is so …
The universe is so big, so wonderfully complex, that it can only mean two things:
1- Jesus Christ is our lord and savior
2- Mohamed is the true prophet.
You gotta love religious thinking.
