Well, God a lot of stuff in his hands. The number of galaxies* for him
to take care of is just mind blowing. When you look at the size of the
Universe, you go, "Oh my God!" ;)
And the Christians don't know how to manage this speck in the
universe. I think the whole thing will come crashing down soon if they
remain at the helm.
*There are probably more than 170 billion (1.7 × 1011) galaxies in the
observable universe.
