Septillions of stars...arsenic-eating bacteria...each day the universe reveals the ridiculous-ness of our human arrogance, which led us to believe at the end of the 19th century that science was "done" and continues to dominate our perspective. In 12-Step work we say that there is a God and we are not Him. Nothing demonstrates that more, in my view, than science itself. Those who believe otherwise are not only arrogant but scientifically illiterate to boot. The UNIVERSE is fearfully and wonderfully made, and exists not within the context of our feeble skills and intelligence but within that of eternity and infinity. Rather than making me feel small and insignificant, it makes me appreciate what a blessing it is to live in and comprehend even our fantastic little cranny of that universe.
