Marcy, gesticulating wildly: I'm just saying, humans are inherently biased. We want to think that death isn't the end. We want to believe in a benevolent, all-powerful creator. Which makes sense! The alternatives are really scary! But we can't let that fear cloud our judgment. And if you actually step back and look at the evidence for intelligent design, or an afterlife, it's pretty flimsy.

Anne, lying in bed and staring at the ceiling: I dunno, Marbles, this doesn't seem like the kind of thing science can answer. You'll just run up against more questions. Like, why did the big bang happen? Why does gravity and matter and stuff follow this particular set of rules, and not some other rules? There's gotta be a greater purpose behind it all. Maybe not a god, but like…a plan. The universe's plan.

Sasha, not looking up from her phone: If God isn't dead yet, I'm gonna kill him myself.
