The universe is huge
The universe is huge. I mean, huge. This is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2004. It is the deepest picture ever taken of the universe (click on the picture for a full-sized view). Each dot in the picture is a galaxy--not a star--a galaxy, about 10,000 of them. You are actually looking through time itself, the light of the first galaxies, 13 billion years ago.This picture blows my mind. Not only is the universe huge, we don't really know how big it is. The stuff we can see isn't even there anymore. By the time the light of those stars gets here, billions of years have gone by. Those stars would have burned out long ago while the universe is still expanding.

Screws with our ideas of time itself, seeing stars this way that actually burned out billions of years ago. Shining as brightly as if still present in the sky. Fascinating stuff how the universe continues expanding, already being so huge.
Truly entriguing! No way that could have all happened by chance. Only an intelligent being could have created it and put it into motion.
... from which it follows that Allah surely is the Creator of the universe.
