I recently had to reflect on the movie Contact for a seminary class. The character who has faith in the movie is rather open about science not being able to give us meaning. In fact, science tends to make us feel rather insignificant. The opening scene in Contact reveals just how small earth really is. So, if compared to the Universe, we are insignificant, how much more so to God?
Having been going through a vast array of feelings in the past month, I was able to bring things into perspective a bit more after reflecting on the Scriptures, particularly Psalm 8. If we are ready for it, God will reveal to us himself through the scriptures, wherever we are in life.
Psalm 8 says that we have been made a little lower than “heavenly beings,” which is likely a modest translation to say we are created a little less than God himself
