Not helpful, but thanks just the same.

He's saying since NASA named the area in space as the Pillars of Creation that NASA believes the religious association to god. As I said, they shouldn't have chosen such a name for it.

Choosing that name can also be take as being a shot at religion. The phrase comes from a 19th Century sermon by British pastor (whose name escapes me) in which Christ is described as holding up ‘the Pillars of Creation’. It’s almost as if NASA was saying, ‘Nah - these are the pillars of creation. Jesus, not so much.’
