If you divide the age of the universe, around 13.7 billion, by the age of the human race dating from when our puny ancestors first descended from the trees and began walking upright, around 3 million, you get the number .00002. This is the percentage of the time the human story has occupied in the history of the universe. The Christian era occupies a tiny fraction of that small number. It has all played out on an insignificant speck of dust in an unimaginably vast universe. And yet, apologists persist in trying to glean their morality from myths dating from the infancy of human civilization. Religion tries to make humanity out to be more than it is, and in the process leaves humanity being less than it can be.
