Book: The Ghost in the Universe: God in Light of Modern Science , by Taner Edis
"The human brain is not at its best when it confronts random, merely accidental facts. We perceive a face on Mars or see Jesus in a burnt tortilla.

If disaster strikes us, we wonder if there was some cosmic reason we were singled out."
