About This Quote

As a child, you learned that the Earth is round and that there is no way it can be flat. But as you grew up, you came to understand the natural world a little more and now you know better. What you don’t learn is why these things occur. You see, everything is going on all the time, but most people are blind to it. The Earth is God’s pinball machine or pinball table for short, and each quake, tidal wave, flash flood or volcanic eruption is the result of a tilt that occurs when God, cheating, tries to win free games.
