Re: Imaginary superbeings don't add anything to the wonder of it all
Hi, Iano.

Let's agree that the wonder involving my supposition (God exists) trumps the wonder involving your supposition (you're but Stardust) perhaps?

Then, as long as we're quantifying everybody's wonder and comparing it to each others', let's also agree that the wonder involving my supposition (that God exists and can turn us into Gods so that we can do what He does) trumps the wonder involving your supposition (merely that God exists).

To each his own wonder.

Well, I consider it a remarkable occurance that a completely undirected process (undirected other than by blind, goal-less forces of nature) should conspire to produce something (a brain) that decides itself to be in a position to accurately determine that such a process is capable of producing something capable of concluding that such a process has produced something capable of deciding that such a process has produced something...
​
And, therein lies the wonder...
​
You have to admit, if it's true, it's pretty marvelous.

BOTH of your suppositions are less amazing than mine (that God is a magical goat who lives under my fingernail and farts candy corn).
​
Honestly, that's not amazing: it's just stupid.
​
But, at least you got the point.
