I get what you mean and actually agree but that's an entirely different subject from this thread. But I do get a little irked sometimes when people say there's no possibility of there being a God just because every description human beings have dreamed up has been, well, silly. I mean really.
"What's this!?!! Men are ****ing each other in the ass in bathhouses?!?!?! CLEARLY THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE CITY!!!!"
Come on now. A being wise and apt enough to create an entire universe wouldn't be that erratic.
But really though, I don't see why it seems so far fetched to people. Like I said, if
we can recreate the circumstances under which life on Earth (supposedly) began and evolved to what we know today, what's so preposterous about the idea of ourselves having been created? I mean, the fact that this creator is invisible to us doesn't mean much. The organisms found in primordial soup are more than likely completely oblivious to our existence. And even if we hypothetically could let those organism evolve to a point where they had the means to contemplate such things, that doesn't mean they'd have the means to witness us. If I'm forced to believe in anything it's that there's more to existence than what we interpret or are even capable of understanding as a species. I mean, there are colors out there we can't even see.
