The Universe Is The Way It Is,

I Cannot Stress Often Enough That What Science Is All About Is Not Proving Things To Be True But Proving Them To Be False.

Philosophy Used To Be A Field That Had Content, But Then Natural Philosophy Became Physics, And Physics Has Only Continued To Make Inroads. Every Time Theres A Leap In Physics, It Encroaches On These Areas That Philosophers Have Carefully Sequestered Away To Themselves, And So Then You Have This Natural Resentment On The Part Of Philosophers.

Occam's Razor Suggests That, If Some Event Is Physically Plausible, We Don't Need Recourse To More Extraordinary Claims For Its Being. Surely The Requirement Of An All-powerful Deity Who Somehow Exists Outside Of Our Universe, Or Multiverse, While At The Same Time Governing What Goes On Inside It, Is One Such Claim. It Should Thus Be A Claim Of Last, Rather Than First, Resort.

The Fact Is That People Would Rather Cling When They're Afraid Of Something To A Priori Beliefs Than Rather Open Their Minds About It.

For Many, To Live In A Universe That May Have No Purpose, And No Creator, Is Unthinkable.
