God Is Just So Ginormously Great

Today, I bumped into Claudia (Ps Jeff's wife) at the lift before service today. She said, "Yeu Ann, I think you'll really love today's sermon!"

"Oh! That's great! ... but how come leh? What's it about?"

"Hee hee! Why don't you go and listen to it yourself?"

Gosh. The sermon was like a physics lecture. A university physics lecture. A university physics lecture for PhD students. Incidentally, the pastor's also working as a research scientist in Defence and Science Technology Organization in Australia. Cool, eh? :D

About how cosmic background temperatures due to Big-Bang inflation as according to the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite readings and how the experimental data fits the predicted theoretical models so precisely and accurately that it is a very powerful piece of evidence for the creation of the universe, thereby allowing for minute quantum fluctuations in the fabric of space-time that would serve as 'seeds' for the billions upon billions of galaxies which in turn contain billions and billions of stars which can be millions and millionsoflightyearsapart... letmecatchmybreathwhileyoukeelover... And this was just the first ten or fifteen minutes for the first point of the sermon.

Wow... I asked Sharon who was tilting her head back and forth blankly. "Psst! Hey sis, this lectu... sermon's really GREAT! How're you finding it?" She simply shook her head sideways and moaned, "I. Don't. Understand..."

So amazing! Seeing all this data brought tears to my eyes. Not because of boredom, or information overload, but because I saw how great our God truly is. The universe is so HUGE that my mind simply cannot comprehend the vastness of it all. I really, really, really must bow down and genuflect before God - He alone is the one true God, and there is none other!

And even the word 'vastness' sounds so small.

Awe-struck. God Is Just So Ginormously Great. :D
