I'd love to see your responses.
You're right, "we don't know". A higher power being involved in one way or another is a possibility that many people consider. Myself included. As long as we keep exploring and striving to learn as much as we can about the origins of the world, I don't see why it matters that people have certain opinions/beliefs/hypotheses that you don't agree with.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
