No reality is not dull at all.
Things we DO know and are FACT are fascinating.
Putting a halt to critical thinking for theories and hypothesis that so far can not be proved is limiting and could be hindering.
It seems most of the world thinks that the answer life on Earth must be either A) creation by all knowing all powerful eternal master of the universe OR B) a series of dividing by zero and a trillion chances to one for just the right conditions to happen to just the right thing to spontaneously result in the first life form then subsequent mutations resulting in billions of different life forms on Earth.
What if both are wrong? If it's nonstop trying to prove one or the other without entertaining other possibilities then may never get the answer if it really is neither of those two.
