How much further can you pull back?

[darth stoner]

For the most part though, there seem to be vast numbers of believers who in recognizing that god is outside of human comprehension, actually end up believing some cool things and functioning amazingly well for society.

That's where it got after being confronted with the fact that there is no evidence to support god. Look at intelligent design for instance, it's the extreme case that shows how far religious people go to keep their fantasy real. For some people, the last barrier of defense is saying "it's outside our comprehension" (thus killing any chance of keeping a logical conversation up -- see Denial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ).

There will always be something we don't know, something more to learn. There will always be something happening outside of that narrow spectrum of existence that you recognise as reality.

Completely agree. But, how does that support the god myth ? We didn't know why the sun rises just a few centuries ago. Does that mean there was a guy pulling it up and down until we found out why ?
