If a magical master of the entire universe was real (it's not real) then why would it give a crap about us? It might not even know we are here because there are countless trillions of solar systems.
"So altogether I can’t believe the special stories that’ve been made up about our relationship to the universe at large because they seem to be too simple, too connected, 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
