can manipulate that knowing in any manner they wish through thought. So how do humans have this wonderful ability and animals do not? It would be an interesting planet if animals could think and process information like humans can, but they cannot. They are perpetually limited or restricted to reaction only, whereas humans have the freedom to manipulate information and everything within their environment, which is all accomplished through thought. So, where does this wonderful ability to think, and so create or accept a belief, come from?

Infinity is without end, and our universe exists somewhere within it. It has been suggested that our universe began with a big bang and all the elements to create that event always existed within infinity. When the correct convergence of elements aligned, the big bang occurred, which began the formation of our universe.
The size of our universe, compared to infinity, would be less than the size of a grain of sand. If you could place the same ‘grain-of-sand’ amount of infinity in a sealed jar and come back a few trillion years later, what would you expect to find?
