Dr Phil Sakimoto Reflection

371 Words2 Pages

Before I viewed Dr. Phil Sakimoto's presentation my expectations were low because I did not see how the planets and stars connected to God in any way. I felt and thought that the presentation would not be physiological and more about the miracles of God’s works. While listening to the presentation it got me thinking. Dr. Sakimoto was sharing all sorts of facts to us and my mind was going crazy with amazement especially since I had low standards for the visit.
Three facts that stuck out to me were how small we are compared to the whole universe, the quantity of stars, and finding constellations. The first fact of how small we actually are is amazing. We are just one small planet going into orbit when there are black holes and constellations and the butterfly effect. The quantity of stars is insane. No one could count all of the stars in the universe there are millions, billions, or maybe even trillions. The stars that we can see have constellations. Each constellation has a connotation.

This presentation got me thinking about why God made us so small. Why didn’t he make us bigger? It made me wonder if maybe we are not the only living beings in the universe. Maybe God made us small to protect us from the “outside world” or other living beings such as aliens. This experience made me change how I felt about the role I play in the universe. I say this because I am more confused about God’s plan not only for me but for the whole universe. I wonder how he sees us compared to the universe.
In conclusion, God made us for reasons I think that are unknown to man. God has a plan for all of us that we aren’t yet aware of. In my mind, not knowing our exact outcome in life is just like not knowing how enormous the world is out there even past the naked eye. There is so much more to see in the world and that is what I understood from the

  • The Cosmic Perspective By Neal Degrasse Tyson Analysis

    946 Words  | 4 Pages

In Addition to this, Tyson talks about how the scientific perspective can only be studied by those with the privilege of not focusing on survival. Tyson gives a litany of examples demonstrating how science has increased humanity's collective knowledge. Tyson's main idea in the text is that the cosmic perspective allows us to see the beauty of the universe beyond earth, and why we should focus more on getting all members of society to that point.

    Stars; these seem to be very important figures in the story of Romeo and Juliet, a lyric poem, story and play, written by William Shakespeare. It supposedly relates to fate and is talked about repeatedly throughout the story. I look at the stars way up high and see them in their "predetermined" locations. They 're metaphorical because of how easy it is to compare stars and fate. I notice Shakespeare 's intentions when comparing destiny and the stars.

Their portrayals of the holocaust give a glimpse of what Jewish people endured because they were different.

In each of those stories there is four themes that every person in the world relates to, and lives through today. The themes are facing catastrophe, resisting hate, life in hiding, and survivors.
