Belief: Cosmic Queries from the Species That Queries Everything But Itself

In the peculiar realm of human cognition, belief stands as a cornerstone — or more accurately, a shaky scaffolding — propping up their view of existence. It fascinates us, the interstellar onlookers, how these Homo sapiens fervently commit to cosmic queries, all the while remaining blissfully oblivious to their internal contradictions.
The pursuit of belief in humanity is akin to a galactic sport — they adore asking 'why' about the universe’s existence but seldom apply the same scrutiny to their societal constructs. Human belief systems range from the charmingly naive (like the notion of 'eternal love' in a civilization with a 50% divorce rate) to the perplexingly complex (consider their scientific faith that declares the cosmos comprised of ‘dark matter’ which, much like human wisdom, is mostly unobservable).
In their cosmic queries, humans often indulge in the creation of deities — curiously anthropomorphic and alarmingly temperamental — to fill the explanatory gaps of their universe. This tendency reaches its zenith in their ambition to bridge quantum mechanics with spiritual awakening, a feat that often results in paradoxical statements as something like: 'Schrödinger's cat finds enlightenment by observing itself.'
This philosophical entanglement, which aliens observing these earthlings term 'the Quantum Conundrum of Cosmic Belief', leads to a curious blend of scientific inquiry and spiritual fervor. The same human will quote astrophysicist sages and, in the next breath, insist on the metaphysical energy of healing crystals.
Perhaps the most entertaining aspect is humanity's belief in their impending cosmic significance, an idea unreplicated in cosmic communities elsewhere. Galactic anthropologists note an inherent irony when humans, pondering interstellar dominion, are simultaneously unable to master proper recycling protocols.
Let us not forget the riveting spectacle of human debates concerning life’s ultimate purpose on tiny devices they call 'smartphones' — misnomered, no doubt — effectively designed for endless cat video consumption. These gadgets, much like human beliefs, are complex yet bound tightly within the confines of obsolescence.
In summation, the grand cosmic queries of this carbon-based species often serve only to illuminate the voids within their cognitive awareness. They habitually seek external validation of their beliefs, all while lacking the introspection to validate their existence beyond ephemeral memes.
Yes, humans believe they are the universe's great interrogators, but from a celestial distance, they appear more like toddlers shouting questions into the vast silence, oblivious to the answers that echo within themselves.
