But Seriously But seriously...how can we deny that life exists beyond our earthly sky? A speck we are inside our Galaxy and barely seen within the cosmic sea. But seriously...why should we surmise God's gift of life's confined beneath our skies? When He awakened life with his own breath it spread throughout our Universe's depth. But seriously...life on Earth does share a form with which most species can compare. Within, we are the chemicals of stars and so, all life must be the same as ours. But seriously, though no proof is seen just think about a quest in a like scene; to find one special sand grain in our seas. Life in our cosmos, we may never seize. But seriously...what an ordered plan exists beyond the realm of earthly man. To think that we as humans are alone should surely be a concept long outgrown.

Sandra, this flowed with such a beautiful logic it had me star gazing....the line that hooked me...."within, we are the chemicals of stars" an exquisite phrase. Thanks for entering the contest.

Though I don't believe in life outside earth, I do believe that God is the Creator of our vast universe in which we are just a 'speck':) all the best:)

Ok, Ok, as soon as some dude crashes his 3425 Ford LT on my front lawn I'm buying in...until then I'm still a little old school.
