Why do you find inifnite spaces terrifying? Maybe glorious or wonderful or beautiful, but not terrifying.

Why do you find infinite spaces terrifying? Maybe glorious or wonderful or beautiful, but not terrifying.
Actually they are both. But my point was that a scientist of old (Pascal) trembled before the God who made the "infinite spaces" and found them terrible apart from God. For Pascal there was no contemplation of the creation apart from contemplation of the One who created.
THIS is what seems missing from so much science today: not an "it", but a "He".
