That core uncertainty about direct proof raises a compelling hypothetical question: which world would be preferable?
Would it be better for everyone to believe God exists, bringing potential social cohesion even if that belief is ultimately untrue, or for everyone to deny God's existence, adhering perhaps closer to verifiable reality, even if a divine truth is being ignored?
Building on that thought, it seems crucial to distinguish between the potential existence of a divine entity and organized religion. Religion often represents humanity's attempt to interpret sacred texts, experiences, or traditions through a human lens. Therefore, while potentially valuable, no single religion can claim to hold the absolute truth about God, as it remains an interpretation, not the source itself.
