Qur'an: Shooting Stars

This is the Quran's explanation for shooting stars:

'We set up constellations in the heavens, and made them attractive to onlookers, and We protected them against every execrable demon, except one who eavesdrops, and whom a visible shooting star pursues."

Consider an alternative explanation for shooting stars:

'Sometimes, little chunks of rock fall through space for thousands, millions, perhaps billions of years, to eventually reach the planet we call Earth, which is but one of eight planets orbiting a star we call the Sun, which is but one of over 100 billion stars in the Galaxy we call the Milky Way, which is but one of over 100 billion galaxies in what we call the Universe.

(The little chunk of rock might once have been part of a planet, shattered long ago, or a star, no longer shining.)

When the little chunk of rock reaches the Earth, it is disintegrated as it passes through what we call the Atmosphere, a layer of gas insulating the Earth's surface and allowing a process called 'Life' to occur.

From origins so lowly that we would call them Microscopic, Life spread and developed into myriad forms over billions of years. What we call Humans are one of these life-forms. Humans are biped mammals which once occupied only a small fraction of the Earth's surface, where they scavenged and hunted, and were hunted in turn. They were middling omnivores that looked for food by day, and hid from monsters by night. As tools and teamwork became advantageous, the cognitive and cooperative abilities of these Humans improved until they were able to spread across the planet, wipe out their former predators, and become the rulers of the Earth.

(They are still afraid of monsters in the dark.)

Sometimes, these Humans look up at the sky and are awed. Then they spot a disintegrating piece of rock and think 'I wonder what that is.''

(Obviously, I have oversimplified the second explanation.)

Compared to that stupendous majesty and complexity, how cheap, how tacky, how crass, how tawdry, is the idea of an Empyrean Guard chasing a Demonic Eavesdropper?
