The Signs in the elaborate nature

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

"Sometimes we forget that, no matter how elaborate the material world has become, nature must be more elaborate since the material world is a sieved-out part of it." Christopher Potter said in his book - You Are Here.

Yes, indeed man always forget. We are so caught up in our 'advance' gadgets and capabilities. The iPhones and the LCD TV or images that can appear out of nowhere (holograms), and our voices being heard thousands of miles away without a single wire attached (handphone). The very very very expensive and very bulky machinery that takes us out to... not Venus, not Jupiter, and definitely not out of our Solar System - just our moon.

We are very proud of these advancements, some of us think, man can conquer all. But scientists, as mentioned before, do realise, that there is still much much much much more that we don't know and we cannot achieve, though they are still trying to achieve just a teeny weeny bit more.

As for the common people like us.. we think, that all this is a LOT for man to be able to do, that some of us feel proud. And we think God and religion is quite backwards. We forget, that nature is what God created. And for us to be able to achieve all this - it has to come from God also, from God's creations, the nature - which men are still struggling to understand.

So we should take a step back and ponder and wonder in awe, at the elaborate workings of nature, God's wisdom and His powers in all of these. And I quote this again, one of my favourite verses from the Quran:

"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day - there are indeed Signs for men of understanding." Ali Imran 3:190

Our address in the universe

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

I'm currently reading a book called, 'You are Here', by Christopher Potter.

I want to know more about what scientists think about where we are and our place on this insignificantly tiny earth amongst the ever expanding universe, among other awe-inspiring, mind-boggling things.

One interesting 'fact' I learnt from this book, is our address in relation to the universe. :D It is :

(the usual address),
Singapore,
South East Asia,
The Earth, The Solar System,
Orion Arm, The Milky Way,
The Local Group, Virgo supercluster.
The Expanding Universe
& Allahu'alam.

*The last two lines I added myself.

Amazing isn't it. How tiny-puny-minute, tinier than a speck of dust, we are when compared to the other creations of God in the whole indescribably large universe - and yet, how close God is to every single one of us.

NOW, verily, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him: for We are closer to him than his neck-vein.
Al Quran, Al Qaf 50:16

Subhanallah.
