My parents and I visited the American Museum of Natural History in New York City a few years ago. My mom was excited to visit their world famous planetarium, so we paid the extra price, and lined up for the next available show. After wandering around the waiting area for 45 minutes, we were ushered into the very plush planetarium seats, and looked up as narrator Tom Cruise explained that the earth is really, really small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. As we exited the theater surrounded by teams of young children and their parents, my parents loudly proclaimed to one another, "Well that cinches it! There is NO GOD! I mean, it's impossible! There's just NO WAY that God could care about such an insignificant speck of NOTHING. Anyone who believes there's some benevolent father looking out for them is just CRAZY." I felt like I was standing in between two huge megaphones with feet.
