There are 40 billion stars in our galaxy, and our sun is just one of them. In the galaxy right next to us, there are 400 billion stars. There are 50 billion galaxies in the known universe, and more are discovered each day, each galaxy loaded with billions of stars. Almost every star has its own system of planets; on the outside, there is nothing unique about our little hovel called earth. Yet there is something unique about us. In a universe filled with zillions upon zillions upon zillions of planets, the Creator of the Universe, the very One who spoke the stars into existence and spun the clouds of nebulaes, decided that He would make creatures in His own image, and place them on a planet on the fringe of a swirling galaxy. He decided He would not just make them in His image, but draw them to be His students, His apprentices, and become intimate with Him. When this universe falls apart and He makes the universe new, those created in His image have a wonderful inheritance: ruling over the new universe with the Creator!
