...like thinking that a humanlike spirit created billions of galaxies 
with billions of stars so that one star can have a rock where, after 
billions of years, humans can eventually begin to populate it and, 
thousands of years after that, only then begin to realize the humanlike 
spirit's presence?  When the humans begin to do things that the 
humanlike spirit doesn't like, the spirit comes down as a human, gets 
himself killed, returns to life, eventually goes back home, all to 
protect his creation from himself?

Who's the one that cannot deal with reality?
