I can't subscribe to any kind of thinking that implies we, as an animal on this planet, know how everything works. That is how I feel about religion and that it is exactly egocentric - like, we as a species are superior to anything on our planet and in our universe. Just thinking about how.. for example, we don't even see all the wavelengths of the colour spectrum, don't hear past a certain +/- amount of dBs, don't fly, can't breathe underwater, and a lot of other things I can list for an hour that some other animals are capable of - how can we be so certain in our understanding of life and everything if there are hard limits to what we experience?
