Brilliantly stated!

Scientific thinking asks some pretty big questions: What's the cause, the origin, the reason, the rational reason?...afterall isn't It a rationally real universe in the first place...or so i lead myself to believe in my scientific worldview. But what of purpose to this now and into a so-called future. What of my personal existential condition which defies systematic reasoning? Science remains moot to purpose and meaning of Life. It's rather up to me and my spark of divinity.

@ContraPoints "To Dawkins et al., religious people are just really bad (irrational) scientists." Ironic considering Dawkins's status. (Oxford apostrophe rule lol) Scientists who have firmer grasp of the physics which underlies Biology see Dawkins not only as irrational, but ignorant of natural law. It's not rational of a scientist to ignore empirical truth such as the implications of the photon-spin entanglement on perceptual mechanisms- the most damaging reductive error.

I try to engage you with an alternative view. Challenging your exclusivity of the 'literally irrational' with your 'authorial clinging to rational articulation' as cherry picked there & there without here. Yet "my way" as retort, neg-authoritarianism, involution & the drop of the 'serious' to that of the "mean& rude antics in the theatric" as palimpsest upon cosmos as divine & cosmos as dead binary. Yet you exclude thisme

You are silent and like VFX responds not to you you respond not to me.

There is no doupt in my mind that the Atheistic movement is a necessary force in the world. However, as a world conception it is like a bird that is flying from a land of old to a distant and new land. When it arrives in this new land it will be unable to rest on firm ground unless it realises within its own essense the seeds of its destruction.

The reason dogmatic materialists think all religious people are irrational is that they can't get far enough outside their own way of thinking to see how someone with different presuppositions could articulate a theology in a way that is "rational." To Dawkins et al., religious people are just really bad (irrational) scientists.

Most western Christians have taken the divine out of theology, in both it's verb and noun usages. They do not divine and they seek not the divine. Therefore their divinity has been lost. Anyone arbitrating true Cleromancy becomes suspect vis broken dogma and hence most Christian Clerics are in essence... frauds.
