Our Rigged Brain

[Executioner]

For the past centuries, people have debated about our existance, but until now no one knows the real and absolute answer to our existance and if there is a creator, I am a firm believer in God but our knowledge is limited, what if our brain is rigged not to think of something beyond what we are supposed to see thats why we cant innovate ideas to reach our after life or grasps our creator in our earthly form, what if everything is rigged from the start, is it possible? An example would be thinking a new color that you have not seen before, we are limited to 14 million colors in our eyes, and what if there were 1 Trillion colors, just what if...

What if the Flying Spaghetti Monster is real? What if you choose the wrong god? What if Santa is real? What if god was the rake in your family tool shed? Just what if...

See one can ramble on and on by creating these what ifs and there's nothing to distinguish these claims as false for they are unfalsifiable, unprovable claims just like the god claim. It's extensively unwise to base your single life on a hypothetical.

No ones knows the true answer to our existence, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable to make up stories to explain it. Religion doesn't help you acquire any knowledge, that is what science is for. In the past 3 centuries, science has advanced our society beyond what was even imaginable. Religion has done nothing to advance our society. If it has done anything, it's stopped us from advancing. Asking questions like "What if?" and then basing your beliefs on the answer you give is not a very rational way of thinking.

I know the true answer why we are here it is so we can destroy the earth. And id say were doing a damn good job at it.

First off, you said, "our existance, but until now no one knows the real and absolute answer," are you saying: people knew back then, but don't know now, or are you saying people don't know then, but know now. Your first sentence is very gramatically confusing because you used many contradictary phrases. Rigged our brains? If anything.. our brains just simply aren't evolved enough... I live on facts and logic... seems to be working out so far for me. Even if there was a creator that built us and then "rigged our brains" to not see the underlying truth. Who cares? As a human whole, we aren't even doing anything. If "God", or something else more powerful created us, what for? -- these are rhetorical questions, for all you who can't tell. I'm saying don't worry about "who" created us or "how" we were created, we're here now, and we are doing nothing as a whole. We aren't serving anybody but ourselves.

On a slightly seperate topic, I find this higher power, mumbo jumbo, to be ridiculous. Just a curious question for you highly devoted religious people. What proof do you guys act upon, what sign has "God" ever showed you guys. Any definite proof at all? Or do you guys just hope that there is somebody watching after you? I just don't get how people can be so dependent on somebody who hasn't done anything for them as long as accurate history has been around.
