Reality is not only stranger than I recognize, it is stranger than I can recognize.
(inaccurate quotation of J. B. S. Haldane )
At some limit I will not be able to understand. I am resigned and not upset by that thought and I have absolutely no need to postulate a god to push the grey veil back a little farther. Particularly when doing so is not at all effective, it just paints a pretty picture on the veil. Others want to paint that picture for their own reasons, generally their own benefit, not mine. I won't let them.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
