gollark: It's one thing to go "the universe is complicated, therefore an intelligent being of some sort created it" (not that I think you demonstrated this!) but it's quite another to go "therefore all the ridiculous and complicated lore of [SOME RELIGION] is also true".
gollark: That sounds like one of those things where they test a ridiculous amount of ways to extract information/random noise from the Bible and, amazingly, find that sometimes random noise seems like an interesting thing.
