I can agree with you, Strat.
A philosopher once said that "the only thing we know is that we know nothing". That's the only thing we can really take for granted. It sounds silly, but I agree with this. I think of it everytime I watch one of those space documentaries on NGC.
Religious people have a hard time to accept this. They prefer to live in a world that's black and white. I can understand that, it's very tempting to believe in such a world, because it's easy. I wish everything was black and white. It would make things a lot easier. But I know it doesn't work that way. We live in a grey world, with only a little a bit of black and white. So I'm not saying that there is no higher order, I'm saying that I don't know.
Just check out this picture. It's scary, mind-blowing and exciting at the same time. It makes you realize how little we know:
It's so vast. What's out there? Nobody knows. It makes you realize that everything is possible.
