This is how small we really are.

That sounds like a cool novel. I haven't read any Stephen King though. I don't normally do horror books (or in fact, novels in general I guess).

Carrie is the only book of his I've read so far, and it is great (also his first book). I'd highly recommend it, and then go watch the film which is pretty good as well.

This made my heart go EEP!

WOW.
I mean, if we're here...and those ginourmous stars are out there, think of how insignificant we are...
Kind of reminds me of a Stephen King novel I read, and he said something about the boy finding a purple blade of grass, and we're just a molecule on that blade of grass. o_o

What was the name of the novel?

RE: This is how small we really are.
I think the size and sheer force of energy alive in the universe discounts God as he is concieved in the Christian theology. The size of the universe is wonderously amazing and mind-blowing and tends to sugest that there is a deeper more mind-blowing secret behind it all than some "large guy" who seeded two naked apes into a garden with the intention that they never eat the fruit that he forbade them to consume. And I'd like to hear from the Christian guy,fr0do, about how he figures the apparent age of the universe that scriptures date at a little over 6000 years old. Why would God be the "cosmic practical joker", as James Trefil puts it, and make the universe seem to appear over 15 billion years old? What does God have against people with telescopes?
