Do you ever think about our planet?

Do you ever think about the untold trillions of stars? The quadrillions of planets? Do you ever look up at the stars and realize that you and everything in existence were created from an explosion so unimaginably huge that we can't even comprehend it's magnitude? Do you revel in the fact that we are made of star stuff? The children of a supernova? Can you truly appreciate the almost certainty that we exist because of random chance? The one coin toss in a trillion that lands on its edge? Do you realize just how small your religion is? How small your god is? Can you not see that if there WERE a creator that it would like nothing we can imagine? That a being capable of creating all this would not act like a petulant child nor be quick to anger. This is why I say all the religions and gods ever conceived of by humanity are too small for the grandeur of what exists.
