I think you may be inserting your own prejudices into the conversation. In your "opinion" , my statement describes a "singular father figure". Nothing could be farther from the truth. I choose to call that "the ways of the creator" because I lack the words/concepts to accurately describe the motivations and goals of intelligent infinity. Or..creator...if you will. It is simply a label for the sake of discussion.
I'm saying that humans, in general, cannot perceive everything. Our physical limitations alone preclude us from experiencing on a local level various wavelengths of light and sound. Observing the universe doesn't bestow understanding. If one is to be totally honest with themselves...observing the universe and/or existance in general ought to make you even more certain of how little you know.
You...seem to say that by observing existance through your limited human experience, you can then accurately draw these conclusions. I say thats incredibly shortsighted. But thats just my opinion.
