Talk about Humbling... 2.0

To further illustrate the distance of these two galaxies and magnify the wonder and majesty of the power of God, I have put together a few scenarios for you to concider:

If you drove 60mph from here to those galaxies, it would take you 42,533,333,333,333,300 hours. That’s equal to 1,772,222,222,222,220 days of straight driving. That’s equal to 4,855,403,348,554 years of driving without taking any bathroom, rest or eating breaks.

Every mile per hour counts.

If you went just 1 mile an hour slower, it would take you an additional 720,903,954,802,256 hours or 30,037,664,783,428 days or 82,294,972,009 years. That means it’s an extra 1,003,597,220 lifetimes.

It’s also expensive!

If we took my very fuel efficient Honda Civic, it would use up 75,058,823,529,411,800 gallons of gas. Even at today’s rock bottom gas prices of $2.09, that would cost you $156,872,941,176,471,000.00! Good luck Bill Gates.

That’s a long hike!

If you walked, to save the gas money of course, at a casual 5 mph, it would take you 30,624,000,000,000,000,000 seconds or 1,837,440,000,000,000,000,000 minutes or 510,400,000,000,000,000 hours or 21,266,666,666,666,700 days which equals to 58,264,840,182,648 years of nonstop walking. A cat has nine lives. It would take you 710,546,831,496 lives. That is, if you didn’t die early of exhaustion during on of those lives.

Walking is healthy, but that’s rediculous!

If you’re heart beat an average of 85bpm (since it is a leisurely walk and all), your little ticker would have to beat 2,603,040,000,000,000,000,000 times.

“Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand?” (Isaiah 40:12) Surely it is only the Lord of Hosts, Creator of Heaven and Earth, to Whom be all the glory and honor for ever and ever. Amen.
