Robbing the magic
Look around you, find yourself a plant. A great big, sometimes irritating leafy thing isn't it? No, wrong, look closer.
Every leaf, look at the perfection, think how well adapted it is to how it works. Look close enough at the base of the leaf and you see the stomata, tiny little holes. Through each of these holes comes water vapour, yes thats right, the leaves produce steam. The steam fuels a massive water pump, bringing water from the surface to the leaves.
Look closer, you can see the individual parts, lines dividing the leaf like tiny canyons in the cuticle and uper epidermis. Each of these canyons is lined by millions of cells, each formed from dozens of components. The phospho-lipid bi-layer which rings them alone is formed of billions of sections, and thats without the proteins and glycogen. Each one of these phosopho-lipids is formed of tens of atoms, each one of these of up to several hundred electrons, protons and neutrons. And on and on to the furthest reaches of sceince.
Is it not a wonder, that each of these atoms found themselves in the same place, were shaped by billions of years to first become single-cells and then all the way to the plant before you, millions of years worth of the marvel of the Earth, evolution.
Beautiful isn't it?

Now tell me that isn't beautiful, a rainbow of colours and hues in a million different shapes and distortions, tell me what you see dosn't fill you with awe, and I'll slap you, then realise that you are infact completly blind.
You can't argue with that. Whatever way you swing you'll agree that there are some beautiful specimins in humanity, millions of years of sexual selection. And to think that they are just one facet of a universe which a fly would have to look twice at to catch.
And then those damn theists come along.
The universe just isn't good enough for them.
In their ego-filled pride they are not satisfied with the beauty everyone can share, they have to make sure that they are chosen by the universe, that they have to be special.
Pah
They don't want the universe to remain an aspect of such small possibility, they don't let it be beautiful, they steal its beauty away with their creator. A universe created for our satisfaction, for our presence only, as a favour from a bland, uninteresting celestial being is not beautiful at all, much like a private sparkly disneyland.
Not content with that, they place themselves at the universe's center, they whip away the brilliance of evolution, the awe of the development of galaxies and stars. They tear away the wonder of particle chemistry and the genius of biology. They steal it all away. And replace it all with something we are forbidden to see, forbidden to think about, forbidden to comprehend and analyse.
God
What a shame.
