What should I think...
#5
RE: What should I think...
Brains are made to spot patterns. You spotted a pattern. Backwards-inferring of the probability of that pattern is useless, because if there wasn't a pattern there, you wouldn't have seen it.

What would be significant is if you spotted that pattern, and no other pattern, everywhere. It may be significant as evidence not of a god but of a mental illness, but it would be significant nonetheless. See, e.g., The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon.
How will we know, when the morning comes, we are still human? - 2D

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
