Imagine, a god out of thousands mentioned in Human history, one that creates a vast, vast universe that is about 13 billion years old. A later game star has a planet in its orbit, in its Goldilock zone, where life has been evolving for at least 350 million years... and right next to the end of that planet's current history, a tiny group of humans, from a tribe out who knows how many others in that region thinks that said god gave them super special dominion over everyone else. Chosen, if you will.

On top of that, a special unique claim is given to a tiny bit, a sliver of land because said god got into a literal fist fight over a stream over a whole night and suposedly made the guy who later became their leader this offer, an offer that no else saw happen... An offer that said tribe, his tribe, would use thousands of years later, with all the science and understanding we all have, to oppress people, and bomb hospitals, and volunteers who gave food to poor, starving people. Because, trust me, bro. Do not ever question the validity of the land claim, because, trust me, bro.
