The Idea That God Is A Worthy

If Nobody Cares, Then It Doesn't Matter What Happens To Flowers.

Every Living Thing Is, From The Cosmic Perspective, Incredibly Lucky Simply To Be Alive. Most, 90 Percent And More, Of All The Organisms That Have Ever Lived Have Died Without Viable Offspring, But Not A Single One Of Your Ancestors, Going Back To The Dawn Of Life On Earth, Suffered That Normal Misfortune. You Spring From An Unbroken Line Of Winners.

Go Ahead And Believe In God , If You Like, But Don't Imagine That You Have Been Given Any Grounds For Such A Belief By Science.

Has It Ever Occurred To You How Lucky You Are To Be Alive? More Than 99 Percent Of All The Creatures That Have Ever Lived Have Died Without Progeny, But Not A Single One Of Your Ancestors Falls Into That Group! ... Not A Single One Of Your Ancestors, All The Way Back To The Bacteria, Succumbed To Predation Before Reproducing, Or Lost Out In The Competition For A Mate.

Thanks To Technology, What Almost Anybody Can Do Has Been Multiplied A Thousandfold, And Our Moral Understanding About What We Ought To Do Hasn't Kept Pace.
