Many cathedral roofs are large, old and untouched for long periods of time – an ideal place for scientists to collect cosmic dust for their research on how oceans and life were formed on earth. It sounds like an April Fool but it isn't. The cosmic dust they find is mixed in with large quantities of terrestrial dust but some samples show grains of up to 7 billion years ago, from other solar systems as well as from our own - a timescale that’s hard to take in. Human beings have existed for 200,000 years, civilisation for 6,000 – that puts us in our place!

The author of Psalm 8 grasps this: ‘When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?’

‘For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honour.’

something to ponder...
