Metaphysics

Woodcut from Camille Flammarions 1888.

What you perceive is just a small part of everything. Your world is just a microscopic part of the creation.

Perhaps this universe is just one among many universes. Maybe there is a God somewhere who is responsible for all the misery and suffering here.

Maybe our world is like a chicken factory farm. 
The chickens have no idea of what's going on outside.

Science deals only with what's going on inside the chicken farm,
the measurable part of the world. Scientists who speculate about what's happening in the unknown world are not considered scientific.

The religions deal with what's going on outside, in the metaphysical world.
But they are not unanimous. 

There are thousands of totally different explanations for what's really going on out there, so many fantastic fantasies.

Something is happening out there. Something is going on in the unknown world.
The question is what.
