With that single moment in history, the entire cosmos was laid open before us to ponder and explore. We were no longer bound by the Church to see it their way. And we have only just begun to sail through that vastness. With our primitive telescopes and spacecraft we search the heavens for any signs of life. To date, the closest we have gotten is maybe a piece of meteorite that may have come from Mars.
Some scientists believe that it contains microscopic fossils of primitive life on Mars.
But since itis the only sample, we can not say conclusively that these are Martian fossils. There are also those who believe that Jupiter's moon Europa may contain liquid water under its thick icy shell. It's hard to imagine that God or what ever else you believe in would have created the universe for only us to travel its cosmic ocean. If we look through the eyes of the Hubble Space Telescope, in a small corner of our galaxy, there exsists a nebula referred to as M-16. To most of us it is the Eagle Nebula with its brilliantly colored spires of gas peppered with the faint glow of new born stars.
