Aha, gotcha. Well, there's centuries of theology and philosophy ingrained in our collective understanding of the world that shaking off that notion rubs people the wrong way. For my part I think it doesn't matter because either way you have no way of changing it or doing anything about it. It's like worrying about whether or not we're in a simulation; even if that were the case, there's nothing you can do about it, and nothing you can do to influence or change it, so why bother worrying?
