Goodness knows it has tried, however. Theology cannot progress because it is unchanging, remaining in the lowest dredges of human existence where man is supposedly meant to be subservient to religion. When man escapes, what is the church's answer? Evil, sin, hell, the usual drivel purported to make man a slave to ignorance.
We ourselfs can reason about what may be the underlying reason for the world as we perceive it, or as the greatest German Goethe said:
Quote:So that I may perceive whatever holds // The world together in its inmost folds.
I suggest reading Schopenhauer, to me the greatest philosopher of meta-physics.
