The Long and the Short of it.

[Caecilian]

Now just imagine, like I said, that the inner building is our universe, and that the outer building is God. This requires belief; no hard evidence or shred of physical 'proof' can be provided for the outer building, but by observing th einner building and assuming the outer, we begin to understand the inner building much more than we would without the outer one.

You say that belief in the outer building (god) gives 'greater understanding' of the inner building (the material Universe).

What, exactly, does this 'greater understanding' consist of? What phenomena can you understand with reference to god, but not otherwise?

I can see some pseudo-philosophical gibberish in the offing here.
