Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip.  After sharing a good meal, they retired to their tent for the night.  About 3:00 AM, Holmes nudges Watson and asked, “Look up in the sky and tell me what you see.”  Watson said, “I see millions of stars.”  Holmes asked, “And what does that tell you?”
 
Watson said, “Astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.  Theologically, it tells me that God is great and we are small.  What does it tell you, Holmes?”
 
Holmes says, “Someone stole our tent.”
