The universe is a collection of mind-blowing secrets, each more ridiculous and implausible than the last.
Therefore, the universe is scientologist.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.
These theories about the universe stem from those who Keep the Truth, and those who cannot Understand. Truly, if you understood an iota of the secrets of the universe, you would be destroyed.
