We are not important to the universe. That's the bad news.
The world is not magic - and that's the most magical thing about it.
We are looking for a complete, coherent, and simple understanding of reality. Given what we know about the universe, there seems to be no reason to invoke God as part of this description.
God is not described in equations.
There is no such thing as outside the universe, as far as we can tell.
There's no verbs before time itself exists, right? There's no popping into existence, there's no fluctuating, there's no quantum mechanical craziness, there is literally nothing.
