Everything turns out all weak and wonky, too atrophied to support itself properly when the gravity is turned up. No thanks.

Although it may somehow be possible, I'm not inclined to believe planets have any form of consciousness and I also don't even feel any energy flowing through me. Planets are only just huge objects formed from nebula clouds and dust pulled together by gravity, rather than being created by some cosmic architect called god. At least, this makes the most sense to me because I made the decision not to believe in something before seeing and experiencing it firsthand. I'd rather cling on to real facts.
