If there is a creator, so what?

1) From one aspect, the knowledge does not give the ability to do "new" things that people without the knowledge can't do. The knowledge, instead, gives new REASONS for which to do things, reasons which more accurately correspond to reality.

From another aspect, the knowledge moves me to do things that people without that knowledge don't do, e.g. prayer. IF there is a god with whom I and everything else relates, then EVERYTHING communicates something about god through that relation simply by being-what-the-things-they-are. "Listening" to that communication is a very very basic form of prayer. "Listening" to that communication coming from your own personal relation to god is another. The benefit is knowledge of a reality upon which real communion/community may be built.

2) Well, perhaps the marvelling will lead you to other conclusions which might have import for the way and the REASONS for which you act within reality. Perhaps the knowledge about that relation will lead you to a life which is not merely fully human, but fully human in a way that overflows with god's own fullness?

Okay, thanks. As usual it's very confusing for me.

1) You pray by listening? What do you hear? What use is it?

It is my understanding that many writers likewise make up dialogue between characters by listening to them. Listening is valuable, it allows that certain je ne sais pas into one's interior life. What's that? Never mind just my inner voices squabbling again. Carry on. *no and for the last time i'm not going to kill them all!*
