too bad that is an illustration.

The idea that life is somehow "unpeaceful" is absurd and pretentious. We are but a side effect of natural processes, and in this we are natural processes. We exist according to rules, just like everything. Our existence is meant to be simply because we do exist, nothing is unnatural. Life is ill-defined, but lets call it self-aware matter. Us being alone is simply an anthropocentric (or perhaps a vita-centric) attempt to pretend life is special from everything else that exists. It implies that there is even a "we" and that "we" are somehow capable of being alone, as opposed to simply being another naturally occurring part of the universe.

Tell her there's a more beautiful explanation as to what created the cosmos rather than "God did it"

Tell her that she needs to stop focusing on God in just the beauty of Life and also ask what about God in the triumphs of life. Like the worms in an animal that eats it's brains out from the inside. Or the child in africa who's dying of bone cancer.

Tell her that she needs to stop being afraid of asking herself the what if's. She needs to stop assuming there's God and really question how all of this came to be

Tell her she needs to look at it from an Evolutionist's point of view and see truly how beautiful it is that we were created from the death of a star


Tell her she needs to understand that not only we are a part of the universe, but the universe is in us.
