A French proverb says, “Comparison is not reason”, and it has never found a better illustration than here. What do even the most sophisticated watch and the universe have in common?

Is there a man, because that’s the implication, who waters the world’s vegetation every morning and makes each flower, each petal, each seed, each baby, each cub? How absurd is that very thought?

Faith was created to enslave gullible humans through their narcissistic desire to believe that a man like them, “in their image”, painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo, created the whole shebang.
