The Universe was a science fair project-- childish work, yes, but part of the learning process. At first they placed it on the mantel, showcasing his omnipotence and making the neighbors jealous. When he left for college, they packed it tight in a box of musty photographs where it collected dust (asteroids) until it came time to move and there was no room. Before throwing us to the white noise, they gave us an overactive propensity for pattern recognition so we could see meaning in the chaos.
