Or, and follow me for a minute here, what if everything people tell each other without supporting evidence is just nonsense, particularly when it is self-aggrandizing and intended to control others by emotional manipulation?

What, and I'm just blue-skying this here, if we're a random occurrence consisting of locally decreased entropy evolved on a chaotic substrate?

Or maybe, and this is just a what-if, we're just stochastic phenomena telling ridiculous stories to each other in a doomed and nonsensical search for meaning?

I'm not saying that humanity is the stupidest thing that ever existed and called itself sentient, but maybe think about that possibility for just one second before tripping off into mushroom-level miracle stories.
