[QUOTE="holo, post: 74035681, member: 21467"] Maybe, but it's at least as much a leap of faith to assume that this "outside agent" = God. I think it's important that we realize that our brains simply aren't wired to grasp things that are extremely small or extremely big. Neither are we wired to comprehend things like extra dimensions - as far as I know, there probably are more dimensions than the three we can perceive, but it's literally impossible for us to understand. We have a tendency to dismiss things we can't understand. If you assume the universe was made for mankind, it's not surprising if you think we should therefore be able to understand it. If however[I] [/I]the universe created us, rather than being created [I]for[/I] [I]us[/I], it's only reasonable that we can't understand reality completely. I mean, being able to understand quantum mechanics wouldn't help you much in the stone age. [/QUOTE]
