133. Congratulations, it's called "Evolution"
I guess the first organisms that oozed out of the primordial slime wondered why they were not in the muck like all the other organisms.

They did not understand why they were different. You have merely transcended the primitive, barbaric superstitions of an earlier time, while many of your fellow creatures remain in that muck. Whatever people do not understand, they attribute to "god". As our understanding of Nature grows, "god" gets smaller and smaller. Finally, our ability to infer and extrapolate lifts us out of theistic superstition and into atheism. Once you see through theism, you cannot go back.

Congratulations on your Evolution.
