Search for Reality

GOD: VOICE OF HUMAN NATURE Man finds himself within a limitless universe. This universe contains approximately a billion galaxies. Each galaxy contains roughly a billion stars, and each star is so far apart from the others, like ships sailing far apart in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. The number of spread-out stars in the immense universe is so vast that if each star were given a one-word name, and someone began to speak these names, it would take over 30 trillion years to finish reciting them. (Plain Truth, January 1981) In this inconceivably vast universe, man is an insignificant creature in size. But despite this insignificance, this same man is measuring distances in the universe. He studies various aspects of the universe, from physical particles to galaxies. He possesses a mind that can conceive both the past and the future. Why and how is all this happening, and what will be the outcome of this extraordinary drama? These questions whirl around in every thinking person’s mind. He wants to arrive at their reality. But it is man’s misfortune that he is searching for their answers in telescopic observations and laboratory experiments, although the answers to these questions are not present anywhere other than in the revelations given to God’s Messengers. How can man, who is a limited being, who lives only for 50-100 years and then dies, understand the reality of a universe with so many stars that to take their names merely requires more than 30 trillion years? The Creator alone can unravel the secret of the reality of the universe—and He has done so through His Messengers.
