The Universe is in Us - Neil de Grasse Tyson

I love this video! The only thing that irks me is when he says "fifteen pounds of gray matter". Doesn't the brain weigh only 3 pounds?

i know how you feel GoTsTiLoz thats kinda where my mind was at, but truth be told i didnt need the label. Im just happy to be alive and happy to be enjoying this world. I am not an atheist i believe God is the Universe and HE is in us all. We all have the higher and lower elements but today i strive for the higher.

[GoTsTiLoz]

Before I have ever heard of Panthiesm, it was my origin of opinion before I ever discovered the definition and identity of this belief. Which blows my mind because its the atoms, molecules and the laws of nature and science!! and it all makes sense. I have tried to understand christianity and most of the other ethnic and religious groups, but none of it made any sense at all. Now I know where my mind belongs. Panthiesm!!!

@GoTsTiLoz i know how you feel, so very much :)

e-hug lol

@GoTsTiLoz You are an atheist. You are an atheist in awe of a Universe. Why label it 'God'? You can feel 'spiritual' about the Universe and be an atheist.

That makes me want to grab people in the street and say, "Have you heard this?"

"It's quite literally true, that we are "stardust!" -- in the highest exalted way, one can use that phrase.

"Not only are we in the universe -- the Universe is in us."

-- Neil de Grasse Tyson

[goog2k]

Carl Sagan said, "We are star stuff."

He also said "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

All the atoms on earth and in our bodies came from supernova that blew up over 5 billion years ago.

Aren't we all just walking, talking stardust -- this cosmos become AWAKE and looking back at itself? -- and aren't we intimately connected to it all?

We are this mystery become AWAKE.

Please enjoy the dance.

And ultimately nothing separates us from others in this grand mystery. Please be kind.
