I've thought about a similar phenomenon many times--that the Earth is nothing more than an atom floating around in the body of some greater being.

But to see something like this published in the NYT...that was a bit surprising. Interesting, though.

I was disappointed it wasn't a headline on the Op-Ed page. Now that's the kind of viewpoint that's rarely expressed in the media.

Yeah. Normally it's the stuff of 2AM dorm room bull sessions.
