[Quranic Reflection]: The tolerance the Quran gave non-believers

Of course, and what we understand so far about the universe and the extreme unlikeliness of our existence should warrant an explanation.
Physics is not all there is. Back to my analogy : the existence of marksman who just killed a bird is then - according to you - unknowable from the viewpoint of a physicist if he doesn't witness him shooting. The investigator finds out the bullet - already a sophisticated element in its own right - punctured vital organs of the bird, the trajectory seemed to be very very precise and tuned. Can the investigator then say : that's all I can know, there is a bullet, a dead bird with a punctured head, and that's it? The whole scene in front of the investigator absolutely warrants an explanation, even if it were not true or not provable formally, it's still the only reasonable thing to do.

People don't live happily for many down to earth reasons and not just because the universe was unfair to them. It's not clever to blame the laws of physics for the tragedies happening in our lives. We would complain even more if they weren't there. (Imagine your body flying up to hit the roof suddenly for no reason, imagine gravity casually decides to stop working)
And what's so exciting about living in the Moon anyway?
