(22,386 posts)16. Humans are infinitesimally tiny
In relation to the cosmos, we already know there are whole universes right in our own tiny world that we cannot perceive because of the limits of our senses, which we have extended only slightly with science.
An example being light at both ends of the spectrum invisible to our eyes.
I don't believe humans are capable of grasping the totality of existence and non existence.
I think that scares the bejeezus out of some people, it's a lot less scary to believe in an invisible sky daddy who pulled everything out of his ass not long ago, ie the creation fairy tale.
