I'll have to see if I can find the clip when I'm not on mobile. His argument, such as it is and iirc, is that solar energy is lethal to living systems because of the second law of thermodynamics. Which is a law, so god's gonna get ya for breaking it.
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.'
