ICONIC The Story of Jesus.

There is a prayer taught to children saying: "God is good, God is great..."

How Great?

Read this and consider...

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Colossians 1:15-20 NIV

There’s a star called Betlegeuse.

Numbers are taken lightly.

A million seconds ago was 12 days ago.

A billion seconds ago was…

in 1975.

A trillion seconds ago….

was 700 BC.

A quadrillion seconds ago…

was 30 million 800 thousand years ago.

There’s a star called Musepheus.

It’s so big that you can fit 2.7 quadrillion Earth’s inside that one star.

There’s a star called Canus Majoris.

It’s the biggest star found… yet.

If the Earth was a golfball, it would be the size of Mt.Everest.

16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NIV

The Hubble Space Telescope took a picture of a black hole in the middle of the Whirlpool Galaxy.

One Large Accident?

17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

All living organisms are held together by a unique protein. This protein has been undetected for the most part until the invention of the Electron Microscope. Since then the discovery of this protein has led to our understanding of many things. The protein that hold all things together is known as Laminin.

The following is a graphic depicting Laminin.

Remember this is the glue the holds all living things together.
