Anyway, more to the point.

All this talk about not knowing stuff is ridiculous.

On a thought:

Me: God defies the laws of phyiscs and is unlikely. He doesn't exist.
My arguing self: But what if what we think are the laws of physics are wrong, and the actual laws show God is likely.
Me: It's unlikely that the human population is all delusional.
MAS: Maybe we're not delusional, just not fully aware.
Me: Well, yes. But it doesn't apply to us.
MAS: But it could be wrong.
Me: We'll have to take that chance.
MAS: But even the chance itself could be very high that we're wrong.
Me: Well, then we shall live the way we have, not aware until evolution allows us to be aware.

Then I stop arguing with myself.

The true nature of reality cannot be known by hominids on a small blue planet, in orbit of a small yellow star in an average galaxy. Don't be so arrogant to think we know anything.

Th...That's COMPLETELY not what I said. I agree, we can't know everything, I said that. ****ing read it again.

You, again, too stupid to understand.

How do we know we know anything?

I believe that belief is believed by believable believers believing beliefs that can be believably bellieved through believable belief. Believe me believably. Be a believer.

You're screwing with me, aren't you?

NO! You are under age. 😉 😂

God: HAHA, you don't like my jokes?

US: Well some of us got them..

God: Good, I thought there were a few good men.

US: Hey, some of us are women.

God: Yeah, Men were my first creation, kinda flawed.

Us: Tell me about it...

God: Between you and I, we'll just let them think we are all male.

Us: I like you.......hahahah

what do we know? if you cant believe it it doesnt matter.

I believe what I believe. I believe there might be a force, which I choose to call God. But I won't say it's certain or anything. My beliefs are private and I prefer it to stay that way.

And don't be so low on humanity that you think we can't know anything.

Arguments of the subjective nature of reality are one thing, but get us nowhere. We can speak (in practical terms) of many, many things that we do know, and can treat as though they are facts (I don't say they are hard facts, because all "facts" are provisional in science).

Having identified the origin of the universe by analysis of cosmic radiation, the composition and density of stars, planets, galaxies, even the approximate mass of the universe (all of these things can be verified by empirical findings, btw) it isn't preposterous to say that we do, in fact, know quite a bit.

Everything? Certainly not. But we have no reason to believe the laws of physics are any different in other parts of the universe, or that the interaction between atoms and other particles is any different. So it becomes reasonable to assume we have a decent grasp on the reality around us, despite not knowing everything there is to know.

The universe is vast, complex, and unimaginably intricate. But we know a lot, and the human mind is also an impressive entity. And if we don't know certain things about our surroundings, we're working on it....not tacitly presuming an inferiority to our environment.

I am not being low on humanity. I simple believe that there are things in the understanding of the universe that are beyond our ability to comprehend.
