If God made the world, why is the universe so vast in comparison? Have you heard that question from a sceptic, or have you perhaps asked it yourself? To the agnostic and the atheist, it seems a ludicrous concept that any God would make the cosmos to be so mind-bendingly huge and yet make only one tiny planet with life on. To them, the earth in the midst of all that exists is totally insignificant: a tiny speck in an ocean of space.
