This one question is why, when you asked me a while ago, I said I was a deist. I just can't fathom it. I used to fuck with my friends when they were stoned, by asking them "Try thinking of nothing." They would come up with a number of scenarios; however, each one would inevitably describe something. A thing that had attributes, was natural, and could be tested and verified if we had the means.
I asked my da about this once, and this is what he had to offer: "We are nowhere near as intelligent or advanced as we'd like to believe. There are things in this universe (At the time the multiverse was virtually unheard of) that we are simply incapable of understanding, at this point in our evolution. We may never understand them, but that's OK, we don't necessarily need to. That we want to; that we are driven by a desire to pursue such truths - that is the greatest trait of humankind.
My da is a useless asshole in a lot of respects, but those words have kept me sane for a long time.
