Why are things the way they are?
Some people try to answer that question by looking at the physical universe, and that makes a lot of sense. Entire industries are based on physical science knowledge: all of what we live with from automobiles, and wireless to our perceptions and explanations about what goes on in the larger world. But it doesn't explain everything which, when you think about it, it really shouldn't have to.
Physical explanations also don't speak to what I think matters to people which are emotional, personal things.
Science is rather imposing, and as such pronouncements by people who claim to represent scientific opinion carry an authoritative weight separate from their message.
And the message may have nothing to do with Science as we like to think of it.
God doesn't exist, for example, because there is no objective evidence of Him. Which is probably enough to send a cold chill down some spines and get the adrenaline flowing in others.
I would probably agree with that statement, although I've had dreams of what could be regarded as suitable stand ins. I suspect that what's actually there has no relation to what we think about it. But life is, I believe an illusion that we touch taste and feel, and we are nowhere near the truth with a capital T.
