the one thing scarier than there being no god is there being no pizza.

One of the wonderful things about science is that it reveals to us how alone we are in this universe and how utterly indifferent the universe is concerning us. This view of things really drives home to us that we only have each other and all our differences and contentions that we have about this or that religion or politics are nowhere as important as we think they are. As Carl Sagan pointed out, we exist on a tiny pale blue dot in an immensity of nothing. We really must just get on with living and not doing anything to anyone we'd not like done to us.We are born , we live and then we die. I like the concept that Fred Hoyle had that there is a 'Big Picture' , that there is some sort of Intelligence of the Universe that we, as a species are part of , but that it's practically incomprehensible . I think to merely exist and be aware of the universe around us is a remarkable thing. We seem to be tiny bits of awareness that the universe has to observe itself.
