If it cannot effect the material world, what I call the universe, then it couldn't have created it. Or have done any of the things that the religious suggest. |
Hmm, seems that I've made a mistake. The example that I gave earlier is only half of what I believe. I cannot totally agree to my own example because somethings that are immaterial DO, in fact, affect us.
Things like the concept of numbers, love, good, etc. Numbers do not exist. You cannot point to something and tell me that is a number.
2, two, II, ....
look at sections "written out" and "evolution of the glyph"
All of those are mere representations of the CONCEPT of the number two. Two doesn't exist in the material world, it can only exist in the immaterial world. The number two is useful to us in its representations described above. So the immaterial does in fact have
some use.
I wouldn't necessarily rule out God's influence, but nor will I say that He does. The bottom line is that there is no way to prove it either way. Hence by position as an agnostic. The lack of evidence only leads one to suspend judgement.
