The point is if there is a god the dude has bigger concerns.

The clock-maker is not concerned exclusively with the largest gears.

We’re on our own, there’s no sign that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

"God doesn't care about small things" is the antithesis of Biblical teaching. Both the Old and the New Testaments go through great pains to convey how the most humble individuals in the most basic circumstances still receive Divine Attention.

If you're arguing with a Christian on these terms, you're queuing yourself up for an ass kicking. They've got much better poetry than a grainy photo of a galaxy that isn't even the Milky Way, btw.

Mate I'm not arguing with a Christian. And I've been one, trust me they ain't got any poetry that compares with the awe inspired by the existence of galaxies. And lol at certain animals on a particular planet doing particular things with their genitals be vital gears in the machine. On this planet alone there are (and have been) so many different forms of sexual reproduction that the idea that the human way is somehow more important than any of them is laughable. The clockmaker has made an incomprehensible number of gear types. What you do with your dick isn't going to impact the time in anyway. The clock ticks on regardless.

Side note. The absolute incomprehensible scale of the universe is part of what helped me see through the cult bullshit I grew up in. Hearing the poetry of Carl Sagan spoke more to me than any patriarch. Just because you're not inspired by the Cosmos doesn't mean others aren't either
