In the observable universe, it is estimated that there are 2 trillion galaxies. And our galaxy, the Milky Way, is but one. And our universe is still expanding at an accelerated rate. For those that don't understand what acceleration is; Source: Acceleration One method science fiction writers to provide for artificial gravity in space vehicles is constant acceleration. So if we had an engine that could actually develop constant acceleration we could get to Mars in about 39 days. What is truly amazing is that God created the universe from nothing (ex nihilo) with just a Word. What a wonderful God He is! Let not your heart be troubled by things you don't understand. He's in control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what substance? That's a good question. I've heard/read that scientists think it is our mind reorganizing our thoughts. I don't know that I buy into that. My dreams seem to be primarily focused on my work life before I retired at age 69 (ages 50 to 69). But my dreams are all mixed up. I'm working at companies I don't know, with people I don't recognize, doing work I don't understand, etc. Where does that come from? Once in a while I will dream of my wife and my dogs. I've been known to find my hand rubbing the thick comforter thinking it was one of my now deceased dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. After 30 + years of studying the Scriptures trying to disprove them, and failing to do so, I found these Scriptures which teach that there is life out there in the heavenlies. Colossians 1:16, For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (THRONES, DOMINIONS, PRINCIPALITIES. He created them all TO BE INHABITED). Isaiah 45:18, 18, For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. All matter is composed of atoms. Only in recent years has science discovered that everything we see is composed of things that we cannot see- tiny invisible particles called atoms, made up of electrons and protons, which are really not solids, but positive and negative charges of electricity. Considering that he lived about two centuries ago, it is extremely doubtful that the author of the books of Hebrews specifically understood the subject, yet he accurately wrote about atomic structure - nearly 2000 years before it was discovered by scientists. Hebrews 11:3, 3, Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Ancient Biblical writers accurately expressing modern scientific concepts is yet another perfect example of the Divine inspiration behind the Scriptures.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreams are not made of "things" but are created from the imagination. One could imagine a dream-creation "discovering" molecules and atoms but nonetheless that does not mean dreams are made of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was heavy into design work, God would give me good ideas in the middle of my dreams. Now I sometimes I can't sleep until I write something on this forum. I had a good idea for a fictional story this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kekule discovered the structure of benzene in a dream. It broke down assumptions about aromatic hydrocarbons, and explained the odd chemical properties of such molecules.
