(710 posts)I don't mind us trying to explain them, we will get immeasurable advances in science and improvements to our lives from the science that, but the point remains, there will never be any way that we can definitively prove what theories we come up with.
Simply because there will always be the underlying question of what came before the explanation we come up with.
Natural processes may explain some of it, but it can never explain all of it.
Because the natural processes we have in our world came from the natural processes that came before it, namely the universe coming into being.
So it leaves the basic question of 'from where did the natural processes that our universe resulted from, come into being?'
See if we use natural processes as an explanation then there will always have to have been something that proceeded it, something that created the conditions for the natural processes to occur in.
If we say those conditions just always existed, then we are effectively believing in something that can never have an explanation, which is exactly what religions believe in.
