Is there a creator? The question of whether our world has a creator is an age-old speculation. We are left in a state of uncertainty, possessing neither the tools nor the knowledge to definitively answer this profound question. If such an entity existed, the gap between its superintelligence and our intelligence would be unimaginably vast, perhaps greater than the difference between humans and a goldfish.
Consider the possibility that we are part of an elaborate design, perhaps running on a ‘supercomputer entity.’ How could we ever hope to discern the truth with our limited tools and understanding? The notion of seeking evidence of a creator or some ‘Made in China’ tag at the universe’s end seems astoundingly arrogant. It remains a 50/50 proposition, subject to individual belief and speculation.
This scenario calls for a leap of faith, an acceptance of some degree of irrationality. Through this faith, Rituals become essential. With discipline and perseverance, we may sense a divine presence, cultivating an understanding that transcends traditional knowledge. This inner ‘capital G’ knowledge arises from blueprints within us.
Scientists, in their humility, often claim 99.999% certainty against the existence of a god, but they’re bound by the tools and matter they can measure. Everything in the observable universe constitutes less than 5% of all matter. Even then, there’s a substantial 80% dubbed dark matter—an enigma in itself—yet unaccounted for. Despite our scientific advances, the universe’s expansive mystery still baffles us.
Newton’s laws and Einstein’s equations, touching upon the visible 5%, are significant yet incomplete. We still grapple with understanding the fundamental existence of an electron. Behind every scientific equation lies an elusive element we cannot fathom.
The arrogance to seek definitive evidence of creation using our limited means is akin to a ‘fucking ape with its little tools.’ While rituals and discipline invoke reverence and awe, they also grant us glimpses into this divine design and the expansive unknown. Embracing these practices may illuminate the path to deeper understanding, connecting us more profoundly with the universe’s mysteries.
