So it would be useful for most humans throughout most of history to have had a simple explanation that simply allowed them to move on to questions where there was some profit to be made or peril to be avoided. You want not to be stuck on questions where there's no profit. potential value in your exploration.

And so my sense is that that's a very elegant way of moving on to things that are actually important. And that's why it's effectively an enduring answer to a question that every human being is likely to have at some point. So what's the other explanation? I don't know. I mean, where'd the universe come from? I'm not even sure we can know. Well, that's the religious position too, right?

Well, and that's part of why I wanted to talk to you about this is I do think that there will ultimately be a distinction between people who are faith first and people who are parsimony first. And the distinction is the ordering of two things. Right? Did God create an evolving universe or did an evolving universe create God? It's one or the other. But my feeling is it's nothing beyond that.
