You can’t just say there’s a god because the world is beautiful. You have to account for bone cancer in children. You have to account for the fact that almost all animals in the wild live under stress, with not enough to eat, and will die violent and bloody deaths. There is—there is not any way that you can just choose the nice bits and say “That means there is a god,” and ignore the true fact of what nature is. The wonder of nature must be taken in its totality. And it is a wonderful thing, it is absolutely marvelous. And the idea that an ‘atheist’—or ‘humanist’ if you want to put it that way—doesn’t marvel and wonder at reality, at the way things are, is nonsensical. The point is we wonder all the way, we don’t just stop and say “That which I cannot understand I will call God,” which is what mankind has done historically. That’s to say, God was absolutely everything a thousand or two thousand years ago because we understood almost nothing about the natural world, so it could all be God. And then as we understood more God receded and receded and receded. So suddenly now he’s barely anywhere. He’s just in those things we don’t understand—which are important, but I think… it just is such an insult to humanity.
