Do you recognize the title of the headline of this article? If you've seen any of the Star Wars episodes, you may recognize the scrolling words that appear at the beginning of the movie. But they aren't the same as the words here! The movie's introduction actually says, "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away . . ."
But think about those words for a minute. Have you ever wondered if something is going on in some distant galaxy? Could there really be people (or aliens) living out there, as suggested by science fiction? If so, did they already have advanced civilizations a long time ago, before we human beings on earth did?
Exploring the unknown
There is something in us that makes us wonder what might be on other worlds far from our earthly home. People want to explore things that are unknown, distant and mysterious. Did you know that the desire to search out the unknown and to live into the future is something God actually put into the hearts of human beings?
"Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end" (Ecclesiastes 3:11). God's creation is so immense and awesome, and man wants to learn its deepest secrets, but he cannot. Even what he does know through modern technology is still minuscule compared to what is unknown.
There is an old saying: "Truth is stranger than fiction." And the truth about the purpose for this vast universe—as well as what really will happen far in the future—is more fantastic than any science-fiction plot! Can you imagine a long, long time from now—let's say a billion years—in a galaxy far, far away . . . and you being there? You should! Because you could be there at that time! Let's look at some facts that the very Creator of all these galaxies has revealed to us earthlings.
