We don't believe it's true because you haven't established that it is, in fact, true. Funny how that works, eh?
Very funny indeed!
How did you established that the road of continually learning and improving your life does not take you eventually to God?
You haven't so far so how can you dismiss the fact that it MAY take you there?
You dismiss something when you got the clear evidence not before.
You want the evidence from me?
Suppose the road to God is 1000 miles.
I am getting closer to the goal so i can see the end while you are far behind and obviously you can not perceive anything.
I can tell you that God is there but until you get closer to God you want be able to perceive anything so in a way i can understand your point.
On the other hand it is unlikely that your progress will move much faster until your desire to fulfill man natural desire for infinite peace of mind makes some progress.
The oxymoron that we are arguing about is all about the contradiction.
On one hand you want to go ahead in learning and improving your life and at the same time refusing to believe that at the end of the journey there is God before you got the evidence that God is not there.
But again you haven't explained how it is possible to fulfill man desire for infinite peace of mind in this finite universe.
