Of course it doesn't. 'Everybody' at one time thought the Earth was the centre of the Universe. It wasn't. Percival Lowell believed in Schiaperelli's mistaken discovery of 'canali' (channels), which Lowell translated as canals, on Mars. He even drew up maps of them. There were never any such thing. If we've learned one thing about this Universe of ours, it's that it is completely indifferent to wishful thinking.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
