World Saving Joke
P.S. The only missing piece of this puzzle is in the form of an as yet largely undiscovered cosmic joke at humanity's self deprecating (willing) expense, one that can only be told and understood from each person's own unique personal human experience, but in every single case there IS a joke to be had (more often than not in a singular "facepalm" moment but one of absolute hilarity, in hindsight).
Complete the puzzle with that joke and unite us all in laughter, at ourselves (either in the form of who we thought we were, or were not), and there it is!
"Life is a Mighty Joke. He who knows this can hardly be understood by others. He who does not know it finds himself in a state of delusion. He may ponder over this problem day and night, but will find himself incapable of knowing it. Why? People take life seriously, and God lightly; whereas we must take God seriously, and take life lightly. Then, we know that we always were the same and will ever remain the same.......the Originator of this joke. This knowledge is not acheived by reasoning.
But it is the knowledge of experience."

If God made this infinitely vast universe, why all the focus on our little rock? It's akin to an artist buying a building-sized canvas, and then only adding a single, pinhead-sized drop of paint in a corner.

Nah, God is still God whether we're drunk and stoned, or not.
