One of my favorite Charles Fort quotes is "The Earth is a farm. We are someone else's property."
Another wag says "if you're not paying for something, you aren't the customer - you're the product." The context is internet services like Facebook. But he could be talking about the situation humanity finds itself in vis-a-vis life.
You say, but we are life's customers; we pay for the privilege of life by growing old and dying. Thanks to entropy we can pay on the installment plan.
Philip K. Dick imagined a "Zebra" - a deity who hides in plain site. What better hiding place for the supernatural than in the implacable, ubiquitous laws of nature?
