weird? Ya can't blaspheme a force vector that doesn't give a shit or even consider the consciousness of a rock 3 orbits from a star.

Senefou is right about the anthropomorphized god which has fallen from favor in our age.


Drakes equation is used to estimate intelligent life in our larger than average galaxy. Depending upon the input data there are millions of intelligent civilizations elsewhere or 0. Buddhism describes one lotus closing as another opens suggesting intelligence spread over time an space. There is no doubt this universe has an abundance of sugars, amino acids, carbon, organic matter, water and everything short of proteins, so far, to jump start life formation. Actual reasons for this may exist or not. It is easier to say 'it is what it is'.

A very small percent of the universe seems to interact with itself,
that's us! Maybe we are the tip of the iceberg that supports life. Maybe not.
85% of the dark realm holds the lion's share of interacting gravity but little else interacts there to our knowledge. Its as though most dark stuff acts like neutrinos.

There are forces and carriers of forces but again there is no proof of a god like an intelligent force or a smart dark side, just like in religion there is no evidence of God.
In psychology there is evidence of a plant chemical soup that causes different people to have the same dream with identical characters - but that may be too esoteric even for fans of the BS section... or maybe not.

We should ask Cornel West about God uses and abuses.
