    Sounds like confirmation bias. Agnosticism is probably the most reasonable take you can live by. If there’s a universe so unimaginably big, how is it impossible to think there could be an entity so unimaginably beyond our existence. As we are to bacteria, say.

      I think the vastness of the universe makes it even less likely for a creator being, due to the pointlessness of it all. If there was a god they could make our galaxy work without a universe to support it, and we wouldve never been the wiser.

      It is more likely that natural forces due to physics and chemistry created the universe, the galaxys, our planet, and us. There is most likely some constant expansion and contraction that repeats, which continues the cycle of death and rebirth over and over again forever. There is no beginning and there is no end, there is no purpose except for the purpose you make for yourself and your loved ones.

      I agree in a way. We really can’t rule out a being superior to us so far ahead that god is what we should call it.

      Now when someone blows up a building with a backpack bomb or criminalizes birth control do you think that their definition of God is that one?

      Arguing these hypotheticals is fun but it is academic.
