anything we don't understand yet, that can be god.. it used to be thunder, earthquakes, now it's vast sheets of lifeless matter flooping around our intergalactic neighbourhood - progress I guess? 😁

lifeless as far as we can tell. Who knows what complexities arise in the dark places of the universe?

well yes exactly .. in that realm of the unknown, our imaginations can run riot

it wasn't that long ago that there were still dark corners of the earth - well, more like vast tracts of unexplored terrain - in the Amazon, deep in mountain ranges, or in icy tundra.

There dragons did roam, whilst flying demons did dart overhead, their ungodly shrieks turning the hearts of the bravest men to jello.

There are no secrets on the earth any more, so we have to look elsewhere to satisfy our lust for meaning and importance.
