I don't think it's any mystery or coincidence that the cultures which developed monotheism were pastoral and nomadic, and spent the night awake watching their flocks under the intense, starry skies of the desert.

The universe is immensely vast, and immensely old. Even if you thought that all those shining spots in the sky rotated around our own Sun (in perfect Keplerian circles) or around or own Earth (in perfect Ptolmaic circles), it seems impossible to me to look at the night sky and not realize how tiny we are in an unbelievably vast universe.

Miracles may happen but they don't happen in clusters. If there is only one Universe, why posit more than one God?
