Hi Tim,
Though I don't agree with your ideas, I liked the wallpaper. Its good! You know, I prefer dark backgrounds on my desktop,since they are soft on eyes. This one is just right.

By the way, I would use a text like "Heavens declare the glory of nature" :-) well, thats a matter of different views.

Actually, it's a well-known scriptual quote, not something the maker of this wallpaper thought up (which is what those "" things mean ;-)). Also, I personally can't see how the heavens could declare the glory of "Nature". That is, if you are using Nature in its most common context. That being that of physical reality, or as Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary defines it: "The existing system of things; the world of matter, or of matter and mind; the creation; the universe."

Usually when we talk of something being glorified, we're referring to an entity, which would suggest that Nature is an entity. I honestly believe personifying nature is irrational, but then, I guess atheists believe the notion of any all-high intelligence is irrational as well.

I'm not sure if you're being facetious here, so I'll reply to your statement at face value:

Maybe the contributor is saying that nature as a whole (the universe, as you say) is an all-high intelligence.

All things are connected.

Thanks Reks;

Actually, the line is a portion of Psalms 19:1 and 2; "The heavens declare the Glory of God, the skys proclaim the works of His hands".

When a Christian looks at these things, we don't just see "stuff"; we see the majesty and power of God...and it is all meant to point back to God, the One who made us.

Again, thanks.

Thanks.

I know what you mean. I debated the drop shadow. I might try redoing it with one that is more transparent.

Thanks for the encouragement...

Thanks Chris...but I certainly can't take credit for the artwork...The glory goes to God!...all I did was arrange two pictures.

I like those gas pillar formations in the smaller one...great stuff!

I'm sorry for having to point this out, but you do realise that the pictures used to create this background (which by the way is really nice, Tim :) Thumbs up from this end) are from NASA's website? Or are you reffering to the way they are aranged?

I would probably say, as an aestetic little nit-bit, Tim, you might want to try to blur the border between the subject and the black background on the inset picture a bit (it distracts a bit that it's got such a sharp border on an otherwise soft motif).

well, the horsehead nebulae would be nice to see, if ya find decnet shots somewhere. NASA does have a few, but they're most likely copyrighted in one from or another.
