I think it's God.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Sure, it'd be impressive on some level, but God gave us brains to use, to analyze, decipher, review, filter, etc. I'd rather ponder all potential possibilities, and only move further after specific proof, but in this case won't like come. That's okay too. We don't have to play God and have everything figured out.

Life's mysteries add color and zest, and are for our benefit and roundedness. The best in art, reading, and poetry - for example - all benefit from elements unsaid, where we can potentially get involved and connect the dots.

P.S. It would be out of character for God to have us rely on science to see or sense him. He's given us everything within that's needed for that (though many will miss it).

I always give credit to God. But I do agree with you with one small variation: I think everything is an aspect of God. Science is his way of helping us figure it all out.

For the record, I do not believe it's s physical manifestation of God. The universe is a lot bigger than our solar system. Not sure why he'd be hovering just outside our solar system.

I don't think it's God - but that's because I think sometimes we think too literally of God in "heaven" and us considering the sky the "heavens".

That is probably waaaaay too existential for me to try to explain, especially on a Friday at 4pm, but there it is.

Excellent point! Prior to this forum, I would have thought any supernatural evidence was evidence of a particular God.

For the record, I understand why my views are routinely disparaged as derails while others' beliefs are not. They render atheists' entire "God-Free" worldview moot! Nevertheless, my beliefs about God indicate even WE are physical manifestations of God as His offspring. That is what offspring do. They manifest their parentage. Everything is a manifestation of God, IMO.

Raise your hand, all those who believe this is the New Jerusalem speeding from heaven to our solar system. Spectacular graphics. Makes you feel like you're actually walking through New Jerusalem.
