Yeah, exactly. Sun worship is a religion I can understand because it truly is the source for almost all life on earth.

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago

Exactly! The sun doesn't need to be supernatural to be worshipped - even when natural, it's pretty super.

Wait. Almost? ʕ ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°ʔ

There's some basic life living off geothermal energy which is intrinsic to earth and does not require the sun. Whether this life could have developed without the sun I don't know.

Well the elements that the organisms are made of were created in stars. And our sun was responsible for the formation of all the planets in the solar system (by holding all the matter in orbit around it).

I suppose gravity is really closer to a god than the sun, since it caused the heating of the earth’s core, which sustains those deep sea vent creatures.

Plus we still don’t fully understand that physics. So properties of it still work in mysterious ways…
