And people took not a blind bit of notice. "He's" probably given up. But he does occasionally raise "his" voice and we still take no notice, putting stuff down to natural disasters and ecological failings. (Assuming you believe in a personified "God")
I think "he" told David that the meek will inherit the earth: probably right: the aggressive will fight and kill themselves off leaving a few meek behind - but whether what's left is worth inheriting remains to be seen.
We spend too much time trying to defeat god's work in wrecking the natural order. You could argue that "he" shouldn't have given humans excessive but limited brain power and limited perceptive powers if "he" didn't want us to work within their capacity to defy Nature.
But there it is. He did speak. His words are the basis of the world's most best selling book.

It's just a pity I didn't hear him/her/it speak. Although personally I'd prefer a sighting. Nevertheless if he/she/it is going to hold it against me that I don't want to live in a state of confusion then he/she/it will have to allow some sort of leeway if I don't belieive all that stuff which has been written in the World's bestseller.
A Mcdonald's hamburger is probably top of the list in its own world but it hardly means it's good for you.
