Depends, if a secular humanist believes that time, space and matter appeared out of nothing, which is indistinguishable from magic and on the grandest possible

Depends, if a secular humanist believes that time, space and matter appeared out of nothing, which is indistinguishable from magic and on the grandest possible scale.
- adrianN 6y agoA secular humanist probably defers to the physicists on that question and is fine with the answer "we don't know".
- GavinMcG 6y agoOk, but what about literally every other scale? Because those are the ones that matter re: morality and how we show up in the world. Saying "both sides can't answer this one question" as though that implies that both sides are equally invested in magical thinking is a bit unfair.
- pessimizer 6y agoIt's definitely less of a magical explanation than that everything was created by a magic personality of endless love and ruthless judgment, whom you know personally through auditory hallucinations and the writings on ancient scrolls.
