      It’s beautiful and mind-bending real images. I think it’s cool that you have this reaction and it makes me smile. When I look up at the constellations, nebulae, and planets in the night sky I have a huge smile on my face. It’s very natural to have the reaction you have.

    I wanted to hear more in depth about this subject, In a philosophical view. Such as if we are made of stardust then we are the universe experiencing itself. Sounds like we created all the elements for us to exist physically.

    Realising the statistical odds of our existence, it helps to have all of the day-to-day drama, anxieties, and insecurities just fall away. It reminds you of who you are. A mathematical anomaly in a sea of gas, stars and planets.

    "The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today".
    - Lawrence Krauss.
    "Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth.
    Now this is an interesting number, for by a curious coincidence there are approximately a hundred billion stars in our local universe, the Milky Way. So for every man who has ever lived, in this Universe there shines a star.
    But every one of those stars is a sun, often far more brilliant and glorious than the small, nearby star we call the Sun. And many--perhaps most--of those alien suns have planets circling them. So almost certainly there is enough land in the sky to give every member of the human species, back to the first ape-man, his own private, world-sized heaven--or hell".
    - Arthur C. Clarke.

    Changing ourselves will change our world is not a slogan
    It's a fact that will become more and more apparent
    The same "romantic phrase" will come into contact with the understanding, the legality and the same patterns that came to us from those dying stars and supernova almost 5 billion years ago
    The same foundations from which our universe is built and we have dispersed and created the lands, plants, living, and even our desires
    And the desire that is in every essence gives rise to the needs of each one of us, and that should give us the thoughts and then the actions
    So what happens if we change our intentions? Our desires? How this will affect the system
    What is the same dust, stars, elements, molecules and atoms that bind us all?
    We haven't discovered that yet

      Simple
      We will be resurrected and judged.
      The righteous one of us will be granted eternal gardens where they will neither fear nor be be sad.
      We know what happens to the wrong doers.
      But how can a dead body that has long been decomposed and recirculated into the environment be returned anew?
      But this person once didn't exist and somehow was brought into existence.
      This could be by chance right?
      No ,not really if you speak to a synthetic chemist even the basic elements are very difficult to configure so without external intervention the odds of these elements like carbon,helium and hydrogen forming by chance are really low unless this Happens over an very very long period of time (which is longer than the age of the known universe)
      It makes sense that a designer created everything,guided each to their distinctive form and to their purpose.accomplishing a task that senseless unintelligent particles can't by chance.
      I hope this answers your question.
      Feel free to apply critical thinking
      To islam .(the Quran and rationalism are very compatible but please remember CONTEXT)
      Professor Jeffery Lang once said he never encountered a Scripture that called the reader to reason.
      Constantly repeating "oh don't you then contemplate"

      Stars died so we can be here. So forget about jesus. We owe the stars for our existence, not a made up person in a book.

      Wrong. The Bible doesn't mention *anything* of the sort, only saying that man was made out of dust from the ground.
