Talking about God

• An online slide show that takes kids from the smallest to the largest in our our universe.  A good way to talk about infinity - and an infinite God. 
• A Google tour of the closest 100,000 stars    and an idea of the immensity of our galaxy, let alone the universe. You can also refer the students to  Amos 5:8. 
• A   helical model of the solar system moving through space  Another example of the wonder of Creation
• Deep Space - movie of images from satellites and  telesopes that show the immensity of creation
• Bishop Robert Barron on the interface of faith and science - many useful resources
• A Ted ED presentation on the  possibility of multiverses and the scientific basis for infinity   (which is remarkably like  St. Anselm's proof for the existence of God    in the 11th century. It is also a nice example of a  Ted ED presentation.
• A useful video about  God as the cause of the universe
• Show your students a  live video that approaches infinity - the deep field survey from Hubble that shows we are in the midst of billions of galaxies with billions of stars. This can spark a reflection on the  infinity   of God as the creator of all this.
• The Pale Blue Dot - both a picture from NASA and a video by Carl Sagan that helps us to see our place in the cosmos
• Bored at the Speed of Light - a way to explore the relative distances in the solar system
• 3 in 1 - a video of the book, which we also own. It uses the analogy of an apple to explain the Trinity. Good for third and fourth.


• Brother Guy Consolmagno, SJ of the Vatican Observatory on the  intersection of science and religion
