Quote by Henry David Thoreau

The universe is wider than our views of it.

The universe is wider than our views of it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the universe is vast and limitless, far beyond what our limited perspectives can comprehend. It implies that our understanding and perception of the universe is restricted and narrow compared to its true extent. No matter how much knowledge we accumulate or how grand our worldview may seem, there will always be more beyond our grasp. It serves as a reminder of our limited understanding and encourages us to be humble, curious, and open-minded in exploring the wonders of the universe.

Let's say you're walking around and you find a watch on the ground. As you examine it, you marvel at the intricately complex interweaving of its parts, a means to an end. Surely you wouldn't think this marvel would have come about by itself. The watch must have a maker. Just as the watch has such complex means to an end, so does nature to a much greater extent. Just look at the complexity of the human eye. Thus we must conclude that nature has a maker too!
