I was thinking today about our vast universe. We can go anywhere we want on earth, almost anything can be examined on earth. But when we talk about space, this is something we still know very little about. But I think this idea has a different purpose.
I think it’s to say many times beliefs are based on perceptions of things. Such as one day I may feel like an atheist because the Idea of a Big man with a white beard like something off of fantasia, does not stand up against a vast universe that we can see at least some of. Those are perceptions. I feel even the atheist I know look at the universe, Being as the biggest, greatest, thing they have ever seen, to an atheist the Universe is God, and it can be seen, and it is still left undiscovered. So faith in the universe can really seem to outway a man with a white beard. But the thought of this man with a white beard is way oversimplified.
I believe something put the universe there, and I believe something with a great mind did it, this isn’t a silly idea. Atheist and naturalists must be stuck with the idea that the universe was random, created itself, which is also not a silly idea. But when you percieve the two greats together, one will seem most likely pathetic. And in an age where Science is a God in our world, to a naturalist, a Universe is too Great compared to Alah, or God, or any other form, for this is what people believe, small people trapped inside of something undiscovered.
But the two different perceptions I believe are very influential to beliefs, but this is just an idea. I believe this also can pertain to many other subjects. I shouldn’t picture a lame universe just as anyone else shouldn’t picture a lame super being. Both make sense, but both are perceptions.
