An Epiphany (of sorts)

I'm not religious and i think most people would agree that there is very little evidence of the big man himself (i'm gonna say him for the purpose of this hypothetical rant).

But there is some.

I was thinking about people i've met in life and then suddenly it struck me, actually there is evidence everywhere.

Its subtle, but the idea came to me during casting. Allow me to elaborate.

If human life was developed by evolution then their contsruct would be made from a finely honed collection of dna. Re-designed and improved upon with each generation over the course of time.

Each person beautiful and unique.

And to be fair most people are.

But what about 'the Extras'? You know who i mean, the vacuous vessels that float around with a perpetual air of pleasantness and indifference. Conversations that arise in their company are met with a blank face and a series of generic responses. Some will push the boat out and utter an opinion that they read in Heat or the Daily Mail, but most will merely nod, grunt or sigh in agreement.

This is not the work of evolution.

Its too lazy.

Its exactly like the work of a human. And if there is a god, and he made us in his form, then that would make a lot of sense. Him being the casting director in a very large and complex movie of human life.

So now put yourself in his place.

Billions and billions of tangled plots to keep up with.

You can understand why even a higher being would need extras.

The story is just too hard to follow without them.
