An interesting thing about the god-soaked. They believe their magical master of countless trillions of solar systems thinks this tiny insignificant planet in the middle of nowhere is a big fucking deal.
Of course the god fairy is just a fantasy but if it was real there is no reason to pretend it would be interested in us. In this vast universe the fairy would have better things to do than perform ridiculous magic tricks here like the magical resurrection of Jeebus and splitting our moon in half, aka the required beliefs of Christianity and Islam.
"I can't believe the special stories that have been made up about our relationship to the universe at large because they seem to be too simple, too local, too provincial. The earth, he came to the earth, one of the aspects of god came to the earth mind you, and look at what's out there. It isn't in proportion."
-- Richard Feynman
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
