Existence

[CCoburn]

It seems to me it's much harder to comprehend a universe without God than with God.

I don't think we are' evolved enough to claim any real knowledge of what is, what was, or what will be. The fact that we exist is easy to comprehend since we do. It does not matter if we are physical manifestations or part of a "Matrix" as we exist either way; we were created either way, either by God or nature.

It can be relatively incomprehensible either way. If you go the "God" route then you are left to varying degrees in defining this anomaly that makes everything possible, and if you go the other way (a logical tautology) then you are left trying to figure out how "the soup" makes itself.

Everything doesn't require a definitive answer pertinent to a general model either. Placeholders can be used for anomalous absurdities much in the same way the "imaginary unit"(i) is used in mathematics to denote the negative result of a square root i.e. we don't know exactly what this 'thing' is, but we'll just leave it in place as part of the "model" for now, move on to whatever's next (if anything), and maybe get back to it later.

I believe we are "evolved enough" to maybe understand some of these things in a general sort of way, but it's like I said in the "test analogy". It's easy to be complacent when there is no one to "correct the test". This obviously doesn't equate to the "answers" being right, and neither that they are wrong, but just that they cannot be proven one way or the other.

Of course, a little common sense is also helpful as well.
