Estimate: There are about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in our universe.
Of course we are kind of line a microbe on the hair of a flea on a dog's tail in this universe... and we can only see so far (the speed of light and all that)... so the universe could be vastly bigger than "we" think.
In any case, let's go with the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in our universe.... while that number is not "infinite"... it is pretty damn big...
...and thus opens up some pretty big possibilities of what is "out there"....
With all those possibilities, why would one default to the idea that our massively humongous universe is being controlled by some
oligarchy of controlling "sorcerers"?
It would, mathematically, make more sense that lots of random and unrelated s*** was/is constantly happening.
Just a thought.
I don't think "default" is the correct term.
"Cling" would be more like it.
"In the beginning"
Man didn't know what the f*** was up, he could barely count to 1,000, and there's all these lights slowly crawling a cross the sky!
Must be "Somebody else"
...
<then magic happens, time passes>
Now we have a better understanding what's going on out there.
Yet people cling to the idea that "someone bigger" is out there because that is what we were taught as little kids and we didn't know what the f*** was up.
Many are taught religious dogma before the laws of physics.
