Tom Kreitzberg has formulated Spong’s Law of Theophysical Asininity

to state that “Whenever a person appeals to quantum physics as the basis for a theological or religious principle, he is making an ass of himself“. I hereby proclaim Chesterton’s Corollary: Whenever somebody appeals to size or physical location of a celestial object to prove the significance or insignificance of the human race, he is being an ass. It is on full display here:

It’s dumb when geocentrists insist that we have to occupy the physical center of the universe in order to be significant. But it’s equally stupid when secularists conclude that we are insignificant (“No you are not the center of the universe!”) because we are physically tiny. When somebody declared to G.K. Chesterton that “Man is puny compared to the size of the universe, he replied, “Man is small compared to the nearest tree”. Does it therefore follow that trees matter more than human beings or tall men mean more than short ones? What makes human beings significant is that they signify. What they signify, in their very nature, is God in whose image they are made. And signifying God–because they are loved by God–makes us significant. For God is a circle whose center is everywhere and whose diameter is nowhere. To quote a great philospher:
