Personally, I think it is marvelous that the universe is so vast and that God is said to have created it with His fingers. Effortless. No big thing. "He made the stars also" (Genesis 1:14), like a universe 150 billion light years across. If we could wrap our mind around the vastness of creation, it might make us think that it is small and we are bigger than we are. The truth is that creation is incomprehensibly vast and we are indeed very small.

In the world to come, will we experience rainfall and snowfall? Some have never thought about it, because they don’t think of Heaven as a real place or don't understand the doctrine of the New Earth, where we’ll live as resurrected people. 

Randy Alcorn speculates about the possibility of space travel from the New Earth and talks about the role of speculation in our understanding of Heaven. This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
