Philosophy
French term or phrase: de ce tout merveilleux
Lorsque l’humain fait abstraction de l’évolution c’est parce qu’il prend compte de son existence à
lui seul et de ce qui l’entoure au plus proche et en quelque sorte qui soit vivant. L’humain ne peut
pas voir définitivement ou au très long terme lorsqu’il s’agit de sa propre subsistance pendant sa
propre vie. L’humain se comporte avec empressement ce qui n’apporte pas toujours les résultats
escomptés mais au contraire développe l’amertume et la rancœur qui sont deux maux provoquant
des troubles dévastateurs. (À ce jour plus de la moitié de l’humanité dit ne croire en rien et donc ne
croire en un créateur de ce tout merveilleux).

wonderful universe or creation


Explanation:
To avoid tautology with 'creation', you could say "they don't believe in an author of this wonderful creation".

It would help, as always, to know a bit more about the text: is the author a philosopher, journalist, clergy? is he/she writing for the general public, a specialist audience, etc. This makes a big difference with an expression like this.

Another suggestion!

Example sentence(s):
  • ... do the necessary homework if we ever hope to find the truth of any matter, which includes life in it's amazing entirety.
  • ... This idea may surprise you, but the secret to successful self-coaching is to look not at yourself in your amazing entirety,
