"A truly caring God could not just sit and watch this chaos on Earth unfold without intervening. So either he doesn't care or he doesn't exist. Which is it?"
Of course the thing is not real but if it was real there would be no reason to pretend the Magical Master of the Entire Fucking Universe would be interested in the human apes on this insignificant planet in the middle of nowhere.
"Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people."
-- Carl Sagan
"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
