If I’m being honest, I think people will figure out god too. All it is is a question.

“Did someone do all this?”

It’s a reasonable question. Easy to ask, hard to answer. Attempt to identify this variable “someone”, and people will eventually land on some kind of god.

Yes, but the point is that every time god is “rediscovered”, the form of that god changes as does the scripture surrounding that new religion.

Science, for the most part, wouldn’t diverge from our current understanding of it, because it is ultimately our understanding of the world and its fuctions.

  Exactly my point! I was a staunch atheist in childhood, mostly out of rebellion against Christianity. I’m something else now because I asked the question in sincerity. I’m still definitely not a Christian, mind you. But man, the void is cool to ponder about.

    In a similar boat, I guess I would be considered a pantheist by definition.
    
    Staunch atheist growing up, asked myself a similar question. My religious views don’t necessarily change my view of how the world comes to be, or promises anything like eternal salvation; just an acknowledgement that all of this comes from something and by definition you could consider that something to be god.
    
    Any extrapolations ontop of that would have to be considered faith or conjecture.
    
    In fact I think most people would find it somewhat depressing to come to a similar conclusion initially, but the questions that come from this pondering have really helped me find a harmony with the universe and I’m appreciative of that

    Hey, welcome to the club! Pantheism has helped me find some deceptively obvious truths in life. “As above, so below” being a big one. Meshes remarkably well with science, and if anything it rekindled my enjoyment of science and reality in general. It’s the healthiest relationship I’ve ever had with “religion”.
