Yeah, it's one of those posts.
As I guess, mostly an atheist, I will say that I'm not completely against the idea of a higher power. I've always tried to be open minded about things, and this is one of those things which I believe will always be open to interpretation. I think that because of the difference between our size, and the relative size of the universe, it is foolish to not be open minded to all possibilities. Whether that higher power is some nerd with a computer, a conglomerate of intelligent aliens, or some other-worldly force that we cannot verbally describe, I don't know. But I am open to the idea that such a power can indeed exist, and it has rattled my brain for a long time.
My counterpoint to this interpretation is, I also believe that whatever it is that may reign over the universe, humans have gotten it completely wrong. I disagree with all written interpretations of God, simply because of how many holes there are in the assumptions that they lay forth. Go ahead and read about it, I'm not really in the mood for explaining myself but there's tons of lectures by highly educated people out there.
Some of my counter beliefs also have to do with my notion that humans were not built to understand the universe, which from an evolutionary stance, they were not. Whatever the answer may be, I do not know, but it's always fun to think about.
