It is kind of nice to know that out of all that, we, who are made in the image of God, are the only inhabitants of all that immensity. Not only that, we are truly fortunate to be guided by that self same God to such an extent that we are told what to wear on our bodies, what to eat, with whom we are not to have sex and other absurdities too numerous to mention. I have to wonder what official position of any organized religion can truly stand up in the face of that picture. ---
