The Ultimate Rube Goldberg Machine

A stunning montage of various scientific clips, briefly showcasing the probable origins of our universe, solar system, and species. The video really kicks off at around the 1 minute mark.

This is extremely beautiful. Too bad religionists had to step in and pollute it all. >:[ They make the world and everything around us feel ugly and tainted. Believing in a heavenly creator that just... MADE us be, is like taking the easy way out, without having to think and wonder at the grandeur of the universe.

Their contrived, depressing, mechanical tale disgusts me because the truth is so much more grand and magnificent. Isn't it just so much more beautiful and exotic to think of all the things that had to occur in order for us to have accidentally been bestowed upon the Earth? I think so.

I'd rather there be a creator, there be an intention for this universe to exist specifically to evolve and house life. I dont subscribe to any Earth religions though. There in fact does have to be a WHY... I belive cosmology, probing the big bang, will get us eternally closer to an answer. The cosmic microwave background is a last scattering surface for electromagnetic energy, but it is transparent to gravitational energy. Cosmologists/physicists are attempting to map the earliest universe with gravitational waves next. I hope it works and they can take our understanding further with it.

Yeah, seriously... Who needs stories about a man in the clouds...

If stuff like this doesn't give you that transcendent feeling of awe and humility that comes from the realization of something greater than yourself, then there is no hope for you.

There has to be a "how", there most certainly does not need to be a "why". You only need a "why" if you can't subscribe to life having no purpose, that was it just random chance and there is no ulterior motive for its existence. Which is fine, you don't need to subscribe to that but there it is, no "why"
