When we gaze at the nighttime sky, we can ponder that we are made of elements forged within stars, out of particles born in the big bang.... Beyond any star or galaxy we will ever identify lies the horizon of spacetime, fourteen billion light years away. But neither God nor the big bang is that far away. The big bang didn't happen somewhere out there, outside of us. Rather, we began inside the big bang; we now embody its primordial energy. The big bang has never stopped.\"\u003cbr\u003e—from Chapter 11\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo discover the presence of God throughout the cosmos and in our everyday lives, Daniel C.
