I only heard about this game very recently, but this trailer alone sold me on the concept and this informative preview has solidified it on my upcoming games radar (gamdar?).

It turns out the name was originally an insult used by scientist Fred Hoyle who derided the theory as leaving too much inference in a creator.

You might have seen one of those pictures comparing Earth, the planets, our sun and other stars, but have you seen it in 3D? If not, then you can, in this video! Which goes to show just how utterly insignificant our little blue ball of rock and water really is.
