    Knowing, believing, not believing?

    That is good. I definitely have considered that a lot. I do keep that in mind. The way I see it, even if it is something mimicking God or something bad it still validates that side of the spectrum and in turn validates both sides if that makes sense

    Thank you for getting back to me. I'm not even sure I'm describing the question correctly. It might be (confusion) to (order) to (more order) or (disorganized) to (organized) to (perfect) or (disorganized) to (organized) to (more organized)
