Look at what's out there.

"If God is good and omnipotent why would he allow children to agonize and die of cancer?"

If I wanted to throw out reality and pretend a magical master of the entire universe was real, I can't imagine why the thing would be interested in this insignificant planet in a universe of countless trillions of solar systems.

"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
