yeah...Totally agree with you. Definitely humanity losing "Universe". The intelligent design movement has inevitably seized on the Goldilocks enigma as evidence of divine providence, prompting a scientific backlash and boosting the recent spate of God-bashing bestsellers. Fred Hoyle, the distinguished cosmologist, once said it was as if "a super- intellect has monkeyed with physics".
A law of physics is a summary of the universe as it appears to our senses and our way of thinking. We are unable to know or imagine anything beyond that.
Suppose scientific research did reveal the existence of an all-powerful entity who commands the known universe and is interested in human affairs. Now, is this god or is the cosmic equivalent of a butler (someone who might appear almighty to those who know nobody higher).

God's probably best viewed as a metaphor for the universe itself and infinity, eternity, love, hope, the unknown and orgasm (amongst other intangible concepts). Sadly, religious people don't quite see it that way.
