The Awesome Reality behind the “God” faces we put on the Creator
Human beings understand things that they can relate to. This is proven over and over again. "God" is understandable because we can relate to the concept. Science has NO IDEA where the material they study every day came from, so they simply push aside all systems, and call them mindless evolution.
