WHY WE ARE NOT GOD (II)

Astronomic findings are in progress. Astronomers have already found our Solar System of 8 planets (now!!!) was not the only one in the galaxy. The Cancri Star 55, similar to our Sun, has 5 planets now instead of 4. An American scientists team has found a new planet which orbits this Star. The finding was announced 2 months ago during a press conference the NASA has released in November 2007.

Let’s ask ourselves! For ages, no one knew that another Solar System of 5 planets similar to ours exist? It’s now known if we trust in our American researchers.

6 month before, in April 2007, A French, Portuguese and Swiss astronomers team have said they have made a great discovery using a telescope in Chile. Actually, they have found a new planet named Gliese 581c not too far from the Earth but outside of our Solar System which orbits the faint Star Gliese 581. For them, any water there could exist in liquid form and this raises the chances it could also harbor life.

In November 2003, the NASA itself showed to the whole world a particular discovery: SEDNA, a planet which is part of our Solar System which seats ice and rock. What is next? Our galaxy (since there are billion) has not finished to give us his wonders yet. Alone, it owns about 200 to 300 billion of stars and some planets probably orbits them.

The International Astronomic Union had to work hard for interpreting the complexity of the planetary System. And researchers are doing so. They want to know and find what is behind the Earth. This is challenge for Man. This is also his ambition: know what is unknown. That’s why he is seeking, exploring, digging galaxies and discovering, sometimes, some hidden things. The space missions over the Moon, March and the Planetary System are obvious evidences. The space shuttle Atlantis might go on the next January 24th (if possible).

All this mean Man do not have everything under control. He doesn’t know many things. He experienced his weaknesses when he came to realize that Pluton can no longer be considered as a planet. He cancelled it from our Solar System in August 2006 during a meeting in Prague. 4 decades has passed and Man was misled by his own calculus and errors about planets!

Man is limited. He is not the master of the Universe. A BIGGER than him, with great acknowledgment, should have have all the information he is seeking. A BIGGER than him should know all the details about galaxies, stars, planets and exoplanets in the Planetary System. A BIGGER than him already knows whether or not there is life somewhere. A BIGGER than him knows the right networking of the Universe.

The Earth, regarding his size, is nothing in our galaxy. A BIGGER than Man has really no concerns to manage it and others stars. Man is not God. He is a created and limited person. He is a living being able to fulfill himself and build what SOMEBODY has given to him. If he closes his eyes over these facts, he is voluntarily weakening his intelligence and nothing good and true could be found.

Scientific research is necessary and essential. However, it must consciously be done with reason and patience without leaving behind the ONE who knows everything and still helps us to make great discoveries.
