If you were given a book about the earth and the purpose of its inhabitants, you would laugh with incredulity to find that it was written by a cockroach. (Of course, cockroaches can't write, so please just pretend that one of them dictated the book to a proper stenographer.)
You would not give much credence to the book because you know not to trust something so small and insignificant as a cockroach to have a grasp on such big issues.
But how much bigger and more significant do you think you really are in the BIG picture?
"We are specks on a tiny planet and our concept of truth, time, and space is related to our limited perspective...What we know about our minuscule place in the universe, and even of our own lives, is spectacularly limited." - Frank Schaeffer
