Yeah I see it as the other way around. You get to see more of his beautiful creation. And how wonderfully he put things together. All the interconnections and functions of the universe is amazing.
.
The pictures that Hubble takes only increase my awe and wonder at God’s creations.
God bless
You can look at the universe and not be amazed? You have a small imagination.
lol…love the Christian answers…
Actually, the Hubble telescope reveals more about the glory of God. It reveals his beauty, order and wisdom.
Haven’t seen it (although I plan to), but I’d imagine it has something to do with this quote by Carl Sagan:
We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity — in all this vastness — there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It’s been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.
I have seen it, and so what’s the point ?
Since you brought up the telescope, may I suggest you are looking through the wrong end if you think God is insignificant.
Wait 20 or 30 years when movies are obsolete and not at all awe inspiring and ask again.
By then what we "know" from Hubble will seem elementary.
because at first god’s throne was supposed to be in the clouds…. and then it was just outside the atmosphere…. now its outside the solar system… next it is gonna be galaxy… then sector, then universe
however if there is a god then it wouldn’t be possible for it to exist outside the boundaries of the universe

Because science gives both answers and further mystery to life, whereas religion is like a game with rules you cannot question.
I don’t need to see the film (although i’d like to)
i have see many films about astronomy and own an amateur telescope
The Hubble only gives us a closer look at Gods creation. You just keep trying to bring God down to your lowly level.
is that the one with leo dicaprio? is that still in theaters? i saw that like a year ago!
i believe to answer your question you need to define your concept of god.
i will give what i think you mean by ‘god’ but i do not want to put words into your mouth.
if you mean the god of the bible, the one that created us in his image, the one that hates humans because of the sin, the homophobic, bloodthirsty, slave-owning-encouraging, god that sacrificed himself to himself to make a loophole for humans so they don’t need to go to hell, then that concept of god is, in fact, obsolete.
if you mean a being that was behind the big bang and decided not to play a role in his universe after that than that god is perfectly plausible and at present impossible to disprove.
the Hubble telescope discovering the expanding universe was what should have been the final nail in the coffin that is modern abrahamic religions. that along with evolution by means of natural selection gives us a perfectly natural understanding of the world that is only soiled by the addition of a big like Yahweh.
Strange, isn’t it, that when the bible was wrote, the people of the time had absolutely NO idea of the outside universe? Yet they take it now as an absolute certainty, because it has been proven as such. However, when Galileo theorised that there was such a thing as the universe in the 16th Century (that the earth went around the sun and not vice versa), the religious were so upset about it that they placed him under house arrest for the rest of his life (FACT). To this day the vatican still have not and will not apologised for their belief in treating Galileo in this way.
By means of an example, treat how many thumbs down I get for this answer as proof of my answer. When, in fact, my answer is 100% true. The more thumbs down, the more the religious are freely willing to show their ignorance. Then get a history book about Galileo and see who is telling the truth. Then and only then will you see that "god’s" idea (as in a christian god) is absolute nonsense, disproved by science and later used as a tool for christian advancement when it should ONLY be treated as a tool for scientific advancement.
Phuck hubble…I like the other three sats doing infared, gamma, and radio.
visual light is so 1980s…
Why does the Hubble telescope make the concept of God seem insignificant?
It doesn’t.
"The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling."—Psalm 19:1.

No, God has not been "disproved by science". And if you get a history book about Galileo you would see that he was a devout Christian. So your comment is ignorant in the extreme.
"The Holy Scriptures, to Galileo were divinely inspired and inerrant, though humans can misinterpret their true meaning. “…the Holy Scriptures cannot err and the decrees therein contained are absolutely true and inviolable."
Galileo saw both the truths of Scriptures and the truths of nature as having been derived from the same source: God; therefore, one could not contradict the other. “Holy Scripture and nature, are both emanations from the divine word: the former dictated by the Holy Spirit, the latter the observant executrix of God’s commands.” Thus, “…no truth discovered in Nature could contradict the deep truth of the Holy Writ.”
He often mused on what he saw as the stunning manifestations of God’s creative wisdom… His observations and meditations on God’s wonders led him to the following conclusion: “To me the works of nature and of God are miraculous."
