Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?

Lol, fair enough.  See above for my edited content.  I am curious to know why you assume there is a scale beyond the one we currently experience. 

Thank you. 

I don't know that there is, but it seems a quite reasonable possibility. 

Every species ever discovered is brilliant within it's niche, or it wouldn't be there.  But beyond it's niche, every species is largely blind, as it has no need for that information.  It's of course true that humans have a bigger niche than say, donkeys, but it doesn't automatically follow that we are therefore capable of understanding everything at some point.  It seems more reasonable to assume we are like every other species ever discovered, capable to a point, and then limited.

As example, what is our sample size?  That is, what is the relationship between what we can observe, and all that is?    Answer: Nobody has the slightest idea.

Thus, even if we were to agree that the rules of human reason are binding on all we can observe, that is essentially meaningless information in regards to the fundamental nature of all reality.

In any case, if anyone is going to propose that the rules of human reason are binding upon all of reality, the burden is on them to prove it.   The same is true of holy books of course.

But from a practical standpoint, what function does pondering over what may or may not lie beyond our mortal limits serve? How would this change my every day life? I don't see how it would effect me in any meaningful way. If we are talking about God as described in the bible, that's a completely different story. Now we are getting into rules, rituals, worship, and specific instructions on how to live life, but this version of God also requires considerably more evidence in order to be taken seriously.
