(10,444 posts)It does not have to be a man with a white beard,.or any other physical form. There is too much we do not understand about life and consciousness to be arrogant enough to be absolutely certain. Even Richard Dawkins admits he isn't certain there isn't a God.
I consider myself to be an atheist, but I cannot be absolutely certain. I have no evidence there is or isn't a God,any more than evidence of Bigfoot, but maybe I am the evidence. Maybe we all are. To be here, now thinking these thoughts, to have arrived here, only as a result of a chain of events of which the chances were so remote as to be nearly impossible, I have to think that it was a miracle, maybe not of a spiritual white beard kind, but still a miracle for all that has happened to happen as it did to be here.
We have some answers, but to use the OP analogy, there is so much we cannot see in this room, so much we cannot explain, that we don't have much chance in seeing what the next room looks like.
