Whatever happened to “I don’t know”
Hear, hear! One of the most baffling things I’ve had a theist say to me is ‘I don’t really know where existence came from, but I need to believe something so I believe in God.’ If you can’t stand to say “I don’t know”, that’s a serious bug.
If we interpret it as an adaptation of religious memes, it’s not a bug—it’s a feature.
