Lack of Perspective

One problem most theists (and some non-theists) have is a lack of perspective. They view there lives, our lives, this country and this planet as far more important than they are. Of course these are important but its a matter of scale. Is a single ant important? A single ant colony? At our level, no but look at it from the perspective of the ant, from the perspective of the ant colony. From that that perspective the ant and the ant colony are important.

Its all about scale. At the scale of an ant, ants and ant colony's are important, at our scale a single ant and a single ant colony are not important but we, our country's, our beliefs etc. But on a larger scale, we are not as important as we think and on a cosmic scale we are dust living on a peace of dust orbiting a peace of dust in a peace of dust.

If there is a god that created the universe. What scale would he be on? The human scale? No. We are too tinny. A creator of the universe would not be interested in us. Hell a Cathulu like creature would not care about us. We are on a speck orbiting a speck in a speck. Looking at things on the scale of a creator of the universe we are not important. A creature who could create the universe, the laws of physics, the billions of galaxy's, the billions of trillions of stars, nebula, dark matter, dark energy and all that we have yet to find. The scale of such a creature is so fare above us that we would not even register. We would not be even a blip on its radar.
