  • pls put caption closed English. I am deaf.. pls pls

  • @khashayar8913 I think what he's saying is that God as a concept, is something we've traditionally used as an answer to questions we didn't know the answers to. Now more than ever we're able to get answers to (or look for) things ourselves. We want to know more about the universe, so we look at it, and explore it, rather than just settle on the "word of God" that there's something out there. We want to know WHAT is out there, or even if it IS in the first place.
