Even Hinds can see this one, it's only 4 minutes long.
That fact still is not evidence of a god. Far from it. It is evidence such a god could give a shyte less about the planet and humans in particular.
Here is a thought: Suppose there is this god. Suppose for a minute all the bible and the whole Abrahamic religions are just BS, and yet there still is a god.
So maybe the reason for us being here is to bootstrap ourselves to some kind of godhood on our own petards, bringing ourselves up by our own bootstraps, where the test is to see how far along that path we can go without offing ourselves in the meantime.
Maybe the real test is to achieve godhood all on our own before we destroy ourselves and if we indeed do destroy ourselves, aforementioned god goes, oh well, I gave them a chance. On to the next experiment.........
