Is the Bible True?, page-525

Darkroom,
There are those who think that the universe was created especially with them in mind.

They forget that that they are on a very small blue dot of which only a small part is conducive to human life that is orbiting an average star; that star will relative to the age of the earth soon become too hot to sustain life on the blue dot. Thereafter the blue dot will be consumed by the average star when it becomes a red giant.

They forget that diseases, including congenital diseases still cut lives short, and as humans we are so far from being morally developed that we still wage war with each other to momentary gain control of a small bit of the blue dot.

They imagine a Saviour appearing on a shinning stead with a sword to cut down their enemies and create an everlasting bliss for themselves on the blue dot. They console each other by assuming that their Saviour has foreseen all of this thousands of years ago in a book that is the source of much division - even claiming that it as a source of division was foretold.

No, only we can save ourselves from ourselves and the sooner we realize this the sooner we can get on with the task of doing so.
