If 96% of the universe is out of our reach, sight and comprehension, then how is it so legit for a non believer to just exclude the existence of a creator 7 times bigger than the 96% ?
Isn't it identical to a blind man in a dark castle with a mere cane; who claims that they already know if the castle has a lord or not?
Yep, the more we know, the more we know that we don't know. Every question answered reveals several more questions. Studying Torah is like this. You start out thinking that you are going to master the Torah. The more you learn, the bigger the mountain of Torah that you haven't yet mastered becomes. You learn that learning humbles you.
Most people only learn popular science. What is popular science? It is science presented as entertainment that makes you think that you know all about things that you actually don't know very much about, at all. Learning that makes us arrogant isn't learning. Real learning humbles us.
There isn't anything wrong with pop science as long as we understand that it is pop science. It is only the delusion of real learning that is bad. I love pop science because it is very interesting. It's entertaining. But it doesn't actually make me anymore sophisticated than a cave man. It just makes me like a cave man that has been given a stainless steel knife by a time traveler-- that caveman will immediately become convinced that the stainless steel knife makes him more sophisticated than other cavemen who don't understand metal like he does.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
