You’re right. But, I was explaining how the Earth worshipers think. You’re just preaching to the choir here, son.

Except one thing: God created this earth and it’s not “crud”.

Except one thing: God created this earth and it’s not “crud”.

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

I always like to bring up the potter as my example. The clay used to make fine China is a nasty sticky blue/gray goop that will stick a car to a road or pull the boot off of an unwary traveler. You don't want in on your cloths and if you are a farmer you sure as heck don't want it in your fields. To be blunt it is crud.

But with the knowledge, work, and experience of the master potter the clay can be turned into a vase of incomprehensible value. Yet is there is no difference between the blob of boot sucking clay of the field, and the clay used to make the vase except for the hand of the potter.

The chemicals that make up the human body are nothing special. Spectral analysis shows them to be some of the most common in the solar system, and to also be common on the few exoplanets that have been analyzed. It is not what we are made of, but how we are put together. We are just crud touched and blessed by our creator. But renounce that blessing, or reject that touch and we are just crud. The clay should not be so proud as to take credit for the potters handy-work.

And that is all the 2 penny theology I'm going to come up with today.
