So, my golden calf is a lack of evidence?
You seem to be under the delusion that everyone suffers from the same mental deficiencies that require you to think that there is a "place of god" in their minds. You seek definitive answers regardless of their validity. I seek the truth, and the truth is we don't know a lot about life and the universe. I am comfortable with the unknown, so I have no need for a golden calf.
