What did I know about the star I was looking at?
This was a fixed star, not a planet. It might be
bigger than the sun. Who could know how many
planets rotated around it, how many worlds drew
sustenance from it? Who could conceive what kind
of creatures lived there? Well, there were billions
of such fixed stars in our Milky Way alone. They
couldnt be merely physical or chemical accidents.
There had to be someone whose commands controlled
the infinite universe. His orders traveled faster
than light. So omnipotent and omniscient was He
that He presided over every atom, every molecule,
every mite and microbe.
