Literalism has nothing to do with it. Over half the world identify as believers in Moses's God. Less than a sixth believe in Stochastic Gas. Under the Gas model, it would perhaps be strange for us to be at center. Under the God model it would not.

Regardless, to say one way "should" be the answer is a religious argument not a scientific one, and it has questionable place in a scientific discussion.

I was a bigger fan before Peter Gabriel left.
