1
00:00:00,260 --> 00:00:01,839
What is a God?

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:10,460
What is it to think of something sacred and larger than us and infinite and boundless?

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:17,300
Human history seems to be suffused with this inclination towards a sense of the divine.

4
00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:21,140
We want to believe that there's something more.

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,580
We've wanted to connect with this higher power with this belief that there's

6
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:28,780
something greater than ourselves something that

7
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:31,100
exceeds our capacities to understand.

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,520
Then we see God's everywhere: myths and metaphors old gods new Gods vengeful gods.

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,160
They rise and fall with the even and flow of all civilization.

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,260
For ages Humankind, we've wanted to celebrate what brings us life,

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,400
what is this thing that allowed us to Emerge?

12
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,500
The Sun!

13
00:00:54,500 --> 00:01:00,000
The star there right there is the source of all of our myths and allegories and hopes and dreams.

14
00:01:00,740 --> 00:01:03,520
It gave life to the world, gave birth to life.

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,540
Its core burns at ten million degrees

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,420
and it consumes millions of tons of matter per second.

17
00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:14,080
We ourselves are made of remnants of its fallen siblings.

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,080
The preconditions for our humaneness that certainly is what God is right?

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,580
Let there be light!

20
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,160
It is larger than a million Earths and 
it can blind you from millions of miles away

21
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,920
has been for billions and will thrive for billions more.

22
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:55,420
I think that's kind of fascinating.
