Default What about Everything Else?

On your knees, take a single grain of sand and drop it on your lawn. Now find this particular single grain of sand nestled in the dirt among the blades of grass plants. Now stand up and step back.

Keep going back. Across the street, across the neighborhood, across your city, across the nearest ocean shore, across the ocean itself, past the moon, mars, jupiter, now pluto. Look in the direction of the grain of sand in the grass. Remember it?

This grain of sand is what earth is to the rest of the cosmos. *warning: I'm guessing, but even if I'm off you get the idea.

To those who think that we humans (and earth) are God's most important creation.... How do you explain everything else? Why are we nestled in the corner of a small lawn, among the entire solar system?

This might seem like a sophomoric question, but it's important to me. This alone, is reason enough for me to conclude there is no such thing as a personal God. Is everything else just fluff? It makes no sense to me.
