Agnosticism

Modern scientists can only explain a small fraction of what is going on in the world. The universe consists of 95% dark matter and dark energy. They don't know what that stuff is. They don't even know what ordinary matter is. What is an electron? What is a quark? They don't know?

They can't explain how electrochemical reactions in the brain can produce consciousness and thoughts. They can't explain how life emerged 4 billion years ago? They don't know what was before the Big Bang. They come up with lots of different hypotheses, but they can't show any evidence to support them.

Religious and spiritual people create their own stories, myths, and fairy tales, and different religions and spiritual teachers offer different explanations.

Why is it so hard to accept that we don't have a clue what life is all about, and why we are here. We don't know if there is a God somewhere. We don't know what will happen to us when we die. We don't know if it is important how we live our lives.

Atheists and theists are of the same wool. They think they know, but they don't.
