The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What is the word for someone who has no opinion on whether or not there is a creator. In my view, the fact that the universe exists at all is outlandish. Either origin story, creation vs spontaneous ignition, (not the evidence supported early expansion, but the instant before), is fantastic, incomprehensible, and unbelievable.

The observable universe gets "bigger" each time we look farther out; the total universe is probably much bigger than we can see by several times; multiple universes possibly; an inexplicable quantum world...

The only sense I can make is; "we are the universe contemplating itself", when we take time to do it. I can find no purpose to this though there may be one. Perhaps clarity will unfold though the course of time. Perhaps there is no purpose other than constructs we care to create.

Learn to live and thrive amid the confusion? Ok!
