Abiather - I agree, there are many amazing things about the universe, the natural world and the human body. There are also things that are shocking or depressing.
If I were to ask a religious person about cancer, for example, I might get an answer saying it's due to Man's sin.
But animals suffer from cancer, too. This is not 'amazing'. It is sick.
Consider also, various animal behaviours: rattlesnakes injecting rodents with lethal venom; hyenas selecting a pregnant zebra because the animal can't run away and the developing foetus means more food for the clan; victorious male lions committing infanticide upon takeover of a pride; a parasitic wasp using a caterpillar as a living food source for its young, eagle chicks pushing their weakest sibling out of the nest to reduce competition for food.
All of the above are intellectually stimulating, and make sense when viewed from an evolutionary perspective. But the above examples certainly aren't amazing.
Let's try to be honest - you can't just say 'the world's amazing'. It's a mixed bag.
