56. In a way
If you look at how this very same force is at work in everything, there is not only a connection between all of those entities, but also a pervasive force.

It is an "overseeing power" almost in the way nature is an "overseeing power" to natural life. It is the environment in which they exist in all forms.

The interconnection (IMO) simply points toward something more, something beyond superficiality, something true. This is what some would call "divinity".

I would think that the process of evolution is something that changes life into different things that are all really connected. It's the thing that gives certain groups different traits, even though they are ultimately the same as another life form. However, look at how entire star systems are destroyed, then providing for other creation. This is not really natural selection or even evolution, but simply the passage of something, only to take form again. Even then, we see a clear connection between that which seems so different, and ourselves.

Hey, I'm speaking pretty vaguely, too. No problem there.

I'm not really saying diamonds themselves prove divinity, but the fact that even those bodies experience the same cycle as anything else (including us). Again, this isn't 100% concrete evidence, but evidence that points to something (at least). Even if you disagree with it (which is perfectly fine), I'm just trying to demonstrate the logic involved.
