You saying there is a god because we don't know what exists outside of the laws of physics is just the same as me saying we don't know what exists outside the laws of physics therefore there are 12 giant computers controlling the universe, both are just as likely. And if you're talking about things that exist outside of the laws of the physics then the options are basically how many thing can you think of that could be outside of the laws of physics? A giant mushroom that has always existed, 10 virgins with the heads of mushrooms that have always existed and have forearms infinitely large. The list itself is infinite.
When you got something in your hands you can not say anymore that that thing is a speculation.
At the same time when the peace of mind is building stronger and stronger within yourself as you proceed towards the goal of life you also can not say anymore that that is a speculation.
There are some points to be made here,
1 You can have something in your hand and still not be certain about what it is and speculate about what it is.
2 You were talking about things outside the laws of physics and the universe so this wouldn't ever be in the palm of someones hand or be compared to a goal someone has in life.
3 I don't understand what piece of mind has to do with making up speculations on things that are outside the universe and the laws of physics.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
