Both the majesty and the blindness of this video are staggering. The majesty speaks for itself. The blindness is in attributing the sense of awe to an evolutionarily-implanted instinct solely advantageous for survival. In other words, according to these guys, the awe you feel is just an ‘illusion.’ For all their heady, flowery language, the implication is that the sense of cosmic significance is merely an accident of nature implanted in you for your survival. Christianity sees it, rather, as a ‘message.’ You decide which is a better read on reality.
