Isn't the natural beauty of our universe magical enough without some grand force controlling it? The fact that we are scattered star dust sitting on a rock flying around a burning ball of gas is mind boggling alone. To get to this point in our history our ancestors had to evolve through the most difficult conditions for life, from the dinosaurs to an ice age that killed half the world. Are we not worthy of equal worship as any distant God? Who shapes the Earth of a daily basis? Who splits the atom? Who crawls out of the dirt and towards the stars? It is Us. The gold finalists at the Life Olympics. Only we have pushed so far that we are able to look back and revel in our glory. Be proud of being Human, of being an Earthling. We are a hard bunch to kill, even without a divine father looking after us.

There's eye candy everywhere, in the heavens and on Earth, we only need to look.

In general people can't deal with uncertanties, we crave for an order, we are hardwired to find the logic behind things.
And here is the catch, nothing guarantees that the universe have a logic (science can make aproximations that works most of times). And even this approximations are becoming more and more complex at the level that a non specialist cannot even start to understand.
So is easier and more confortable to believe that there is a cosmic nanny taking care of everything, it needs less energy and avoid questions.
Few people have the capacity to say "I don't know" and be ok with this.

Hi, Dharles,

If agree, but I subscribe to Lloyd Pye's Intervention Theory.

By the way, as you know, you earn website points, and help other members get to know you better, when you write an informational profile that includes your hobbies and interests, and answer all the profile questions, since that's the first place many people look when they see a new member. You have mostly done this already.

The website uses your profile to find member matches, so the more details you include, the better the match.

Then you make comments and write your own posts to earn more points and privileges. You get different perks with each level, and when you reach level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.

In case you don't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Meet" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.Or click on the "About" button at the top of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.

You are right, but I would be more proud of being Human if Humans behaved better.
