[Discussion] Why there is something rather than nothing?

OP: To ask questions like yours apparently.

God, as interpreted by religious degenerates is a man-made construct that is used whenever humans cannot explain something but would like to claim so. That mentality gets us absolutely nowhere. It only perpetuates human stupidity. Your mentioning being 'open-minded' and the uppercut of irony that hit me is a good example.

If you want to dive into the archetypes of our reality; study energy, frequency, consciousness, quantum physics, etc. That shows genuine resolve to learn more combined with a rational mind. Don't settle with the religious interpretation of 'god' because you don't have an answer.

You must have misinterpreted it.

I'm not saying that God is the answer because we cannot explain it. God is the answer due to that we still have no way of knowing.
Saying God is the answer is solely due to the concept of God.

But you seem to think of it as the religious concept like "higher power" or something.

What I am saying is that we cannot understand it as it is not in our capabilities to do so as of this moment.


If you are not getting it, I'll say this as a scenario:

We are nothing but kids. We know very little. Think of it this way, how would you explain to a kid that killing is bad?
they would be so young that the concept of "wrong" is still new to them. So all you could do is that to say "trust me" or just "follow the law" because they are so inexperienced and dumb.

There are things that just is because it just is. We still are trying to figure it out. Again, figure it out. I'm not saying settle on God is the answer.

Conceptually, God is the answer to everything. But stop assuming that what I am saying is to settle. Reread it again to see what I was going for.

It's the other way around, you can't imagine non-existence.
