Theological realms are where people tend to go when they feel they must have an explanation to something unexplainable.
I think it’s important to preserve a non-theological space that allows one to acknowledge how little we know without defaulting to a theological position, and to highlight that acknowledging these unknowns does not make one a believer in deities.
Not saying this is what you’re doing by the way, but it’s a kind of binary choice that many people seem to force on the situation.
- lukan 3y agoNot every religion works with the concept of absolute truth and dogma (see Mysticism, Taoism, various pagan ones, ..) and I was speculating above, whether the sun cares about and supports us. That is probably in the theological realm by common understanding. Or maybe more philosophical? Who knows, probably more philosophical, but I think the lines can get blurry.
