not a reverse troll
Okay, i was raised roman catholic and whenever someone would question my beliefs, i would always fall back onto "If god doesn't exist, why is there a universe?" This was because I was also raised to hold logic as the absolute cause for belief and I knew that every other argument against the existance of god had a perfectly good counter argument. However, now I've decided that there is insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the existance of god (yes, i KNOW someone is going to say "but u can't poov gaud! durr hurr"... I kno) This is how a came to such a conclusion...
1. First, you must aknowledge that what humanity generally thiks of as 'existing' and 'not existing' is kind of silly, this will be reinforced in following steps. This is because all you can sense, (see, touch, hear, etc.) you also can not prove to exist because, for all you know, it is an illusion. Popular examples of this are: you are a brain in a jar and a mad scientist is sending electric impulses to certain regions of your brain, you are in a state of katatonic schitzophrenia (wrong spelling), of course, the example of the movie The Matrix, or the 'actual' reality you exist in is far too complex to comprehend and what you see is an extremely boiled down version. This idea is very old, very simple, and very easy for our minds to comprehend, especially today.
2. imagine absoloutely nothing. Don't think of black or white. Don't think of empty space. Just try, if you can, to think of NOTHING. now realize that the way our universe works - quarks, leptons, all the phenomena of physics, chemistry, and biology - are circumstantial and not a nessecity of reality. Accept the possibility that there is an infinite number of other possible systems for a universe to exist in.
3. Accept that the things in our universe are also circumstantial. The planets, the moon, and the continents, don't nessecarily have to be where they are. That's pretty easy to grasp.
