“I will say that the God concept is at the heart of 2001 but not any traditional, anthromorphic image of God. I don't believe in any of Earth's monotheistic religions, but I do believe that one can construct an intriguing scientific definition of God, once you accept the fact that there are approximately 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone, that each star is a life-giving sun and that there are approximately 100 billion galaxies in just the visible universe.” GivingBelieveHeartFactsEarthUniverseStarsAcceptingSunConceptsDon't BelieveDefinitionsBillionsTraditionalVisibleConstructsGalaxyIntriguingGod Image Author:Stanley Kubrick

But it seems flat to human sight because it is so extensive.” IfsHumansSeemsEarthStarsSightWestSouthVicesEastVisibleFlatsVice VersaWesterners Author:Ptolemy
