Probably couldn't help Himself :)

If you had the wisdom, imagination, creative ability and power to invent and create stars and planets, why would you just create one?

:D!

I'm not a painter but I do know about being creative and not wanting to stop.
An analogy I thought of, imagine if a person who had an amazing gift to paint only did one painting.
People would ask, why did you do only one?

I think, to leave us in awe at His capability.. Just think how the moon effects tides and other things. How we need the sun light. The laws of such. Just to leave us in amazement at creating something man is incapable. He is King, and worthy of praise.

If the heavens, to us with our limited capabilities, seem so expansive and endless, how much more so is his love for us without end?

Man, I would so love to do that! I would start with the planets and walk on and check out each individual moon of Jupiter, Saturn and the rest and then go beyond to see what is in the other myriads of galaxies.

Jeg drømte at vår Herre var en pode med reven brok og skrubbsår på hver legg.
Jeg så ham klinke kule med vår klode i muntre sprett mot universets vegg.
Han klinket, han var glad, og det var sommer, og solen tente lyn i farget glass.
Og tusen kloder rislet fra han lommer, for i vår Herres lommer er det plass.

I dreamed that our Lord was a toddler with torn jeans and skinned knees.
I saw him play with marbles bouncing our planet against the wall of the universe.
He played, he was happy and it was summer, and the sun ignited lightnings in coloured glass.
and a thousand planets jingeled in his pockets, because the pockets of our Lord has plenty of room.

This reminds me of a French composer named Henri Duparc. He only wrote like 18 songs, but each one is absolutely exquisite. He destroyed a lot of his own work because he didn't feel they were "good enough." So sad. His "not good enoughs" were probably better than most everything else published in his day.

Here's his most famous song.

I don't know, but they sure are neat. Ever been to an observatory or a planetarium, breno? Very cool stuff. The documentary series Cosmos - A Spacetime Odyssey is pretty neat too, if you're into that stuff.
