Atheist struggling to answer a question i often propose to myself

[Brian37]

He's not talking about gods anyway, he made that explicitly clear.  Not gods, not alien life forms, and presumably not human beings.  Entity in some sense that evades description or categorization as one of those.

Yeah thanks, i was beginning to think i wasn't being clear, i'm very comfortable with my atheism, although i do class myself as an agnostic as i understand it's impossible to disprove a negative, like you cant prove fairies don't exist, but i'm 99.9% sure they dont.

there's been some interesting points so far thanks for posting.

Like I said before, what we don't currently know does not require gap filling, but should be strictly based on the observation of testing and falsification and peer review built on the foundations of the things we l already  do know. Blind speculation is a cluster fuck to solid scientific method.

Ocham's razor is the simple principle to never add any extra baggage to what you are trying to figure out. Simply put, whatever you can utter is meaningless without testing and falsification and thus, superfluous and will screw up your data and formulas. 

If you merely want to speculate that is simply a game of "if ifs and buts were candy and nuts". Solid scientific method does not work like that.

Now none of what I typed means I think humans should behave like emotionless robots. No. I merely mean that when we come together to figure out how something happens, there is only one universal principle that works regardless of personal bias.

The "why" is what laypersons get stuck on far too much, the "how" is what scientific method seeks to answer.
