It's not that I think it's impossible to know a cosmic creator I just think it is extremely improbable just based on the enormous contrast between us and what it would have to be to create existence of matter/energy and organize it on an incomprehendable scale. I am talking quantum mechanics and relativity. It almost seems that the universe itself is metaphysical. I know it's easy just to throw a divine reason at something not understood but this isn't trying to explain the moon or the change of seasons like people of ancient times did. Although these things are encompassed by existence in general. I have to think that there are things that go beyond our comprehension that even mathematics cannot be applied to and I am not going to choose a belief system just because I can apply it. To me thats just as easy as subscribing to this fill in the blank holy scripture. Where the structure of belief is already provided for you. I could be wrong. One of these earthbound religions could be right. Or maybe even you are right. I guess I still have the stench of an agnostic :P. |
