Many people wonder why we are on this planet and where we came from, or the
stars, the moon the phenomenon of the seasons.
Since they, none of us, knows the answer. So truly the only honest
reasonable answer is "I don't know".
Unless you like to believe made up stories like a white bearded man in a
throne, or an arab doling out virgins, or magicians that heal broken bones
with magic powers.
It is perfectly reasonable for many people to suspect, hypothesize, dream,
guess or have hunches that, since we don't really know, somehow the
phenomena we experience was part of some kind of a planned, organized, outer
directed thing, beings, being, entity or whatever you wish to call it "God"
or "Allah" or whatever name you invent.
At that point we, none of us, know factually that there is a "God" but even
if the most ardent admirer of that "belief" that there is "God", we know
nothing more than that. Anyone who claims that they are privy to some
special diety are simply expressing their singular belief and most certainly
are not dealing with a full deck of cards. Or more often they are dealing
with a full deck plus cards up their sleeve.
In summary:
1. We don't know where life, stars or the moon came from.
Corollary: Anyone who says they know where life, stars or the moon are
false, liars, demented or charlatans.
2. It is reasonable to believe that there may be planning, an intelligence
or other entity responsible for the origin of these phenomena to be called
"God".
Corollary: Anyone who claims to know who, how or any other information about
the entity you may be called "God" is false, liars, demented or charlatans.
3. It is unreasonable for anyone to claim they have a "special deal" ,
"inside information" or "instructed to follow" the entity called "God".
Corollary: Anyone who claims they converse with, hear messages from or any
form of contact or commands coming from the entity called "God" false,
liars, demented or charlatans.
