When was the last time anyone directly observed God? Yet we still make bibles.

Yeah I walked into that one... I do not have an intimate or divine understanding of the blueprints of this universe, but I do understand the basics. The models we know, are based on constants. Those constants are perfect as they are. If they changed
matter as we know it would not be allowed to exist.
All sorts of a shit storm could happen: mass and energy stop warping space-time properly, electron orbitals change either ruining the delicate equilibrium they have to make molecules or crash and make neutrons, nuclear weak force changes and suddenly the sun starts burning too fast and burns us or too slow and collapses. It is a wonderful foundation the universe built on. I am rather glad I exist in this set of rules.
UPDATE:
The reason I made such a claim is that many of the constants from one model appear in other models. There is a wonderful interconnectivity with the theories of science, we just don't have the "Big Bean" Unifying Theory to connect them together. Despite these constants have places in each others' theories, the alteration of any one of them would still be disastrous to fundamental workings of the universe.
