Take the idea that that tiny bit of "nothing" held so much, and that we can't really comprehend how much it held.
Then take a moment to realize that all of the universe is just a very very small bit (think less than a spot that holds "nothing") of God's great majesty...
No matter what you believe about the physical beginning of the universe (this video takes for granted the big bang theory), it is still impressive...
One line in the video, something along the lines of "we pointed the most powerful telescope into empty space for no other reason than the fact that we were curious", reminded me of something I told Mom years ago. "God made science so that people are never bored, and so that they can keep on finding things out about them and God."
I'm not sure what you think, but I think that science can lead us so much closer to God... The world is His creation. When have you ever tried to learn about the character of an artist, and have not looked at his artwork? When have you ever tried to understand the mind of a musician without listening to his music? How could you learn about God without paying some attention to His creation. Of course, we can never learn all about Him. The very very most we could understand is such a tiny sliver of His greatness, for He is infinite. But all Christians are called to love God more and more... and when have you ever grown to love someone without understanding them, even the littlest bit?
