“The moral is that god helps those who help themselves!”
“Or that he takes credit for other people’s work. Basically, he’s middle management.”
The mysterious thing about God is that he can do anything humans can't (create worlds, stars, animals), but he can't do anything humans can (create ships, fixing axles)......
Leaving it to us to regrow limbs, I guess.
But I'm not sure we've given up on tokamak reactors (that is creating a very small star).
Does that mean the more humans learn to do the less God can do? Like God used to be able to make fire until we figured out how to start one. Since humans figured out flight and communicating great distances, God can't fly around or hear and send messages anymore?
As our knowledge increases in God shrinks.
Haha I definitely like the middle management comparison here!
I don't remember the context of the story. But I think it was supposed to be "god helps those who help themselves" - basically discouraging people from being the ones described in the picture above.
