It is ignorance projecting ignorance.
The cosmos make me recall how small we are, no wonder we were described as "slaves" by God.
It also makes me recall how the Quran wasn't joking when it said:
Quote:https://quran.com/40/57?translations=
Sura 40, The Quran:
Sahih International
(57) The creation of the heavens and earth is greater than the creation of mankind, but most of the people do not know.
The universe is gigantic, and that is what I expect from a real God: to make me freeze in awe as I read or see about his creation.
We are mere slaves to him and he is our maker. That's something to think about.
