What is a God?

0:00:04.140,0:00:10.460
What is it to think of something sacred and larger than us and infinite and boundless?

0:00:11.320,0:00:17.300
Human history seems to be suffused with this inclination towards a sense of the divine.

0:00:18.940,0:00:21.140
We want to believe that there's something more.

0:00:22.360,0:00:26.580
We've wanted to connect with this higher power with this belief that there's

0:00:26.580,0:00:28.780
something greater than ourselves something that

0:00:29.100,0:00:31.100
exceeds our capacities to understand.

0:00:33.000,0:00:37.520
Then we see God's everywhere: myths and metaphors old gods new Gods vengeful gods.

0:00:37.520,0:00:41.160
They rise and fall with the even and flow of all civilization.

0:00:43.200,0:00:48.260
For ages Humankind, we've wanted to celebrate what brings us life,

0:00:48.520,0:00:51.400
what is this thing that allowed us to Emerge?

0:00:52.560,0:00:53.500
The Sun!

0:00:54.500,0:01:00.000
The star there right there is the source of all of our myths and allegories and hopes and dreams.

0:01:00.740,0:01:03.520
It gave life to the world, gave birth to life.

0:01:04.200,0:01:06.540
Its core burns at ten million degrees

0:01:06.640,0:01:10.420
and it consumes millions of tons of matter per second.

0:01:10.780,0:01:14.080
We ourselves are made of remnants of its fallen siblings.

0:01:15.000,0:01:20.080
The preconditions for our humaneness that certainly is what God is right?

0:01:20.920,0:01:22.580
Let there be light!

0:01:34.360,0:01:39.160
It is larger than a million Earths and [br]it can blind you from millions of miles away

0:01:39.160,0:01:43.920
has been for billions and will thrive for billions more.

0:01:54.060,0:01:55.420
I think that's kind of fascinating.
