That's the problem with people: too concerned with how and not enough with what.

And there is the fundamental reason that I cannot believe in god. I cannot accept something that I cannot understand, and that I cannot prove with empirical, observational evidence. However, I am concerned with both. For example, if you throw a neutron at a wall with two holes in it, our mind would tell us that that neutron will only go through one hole. But it goes through both!!
I have no f***ing clue HOW that works. The fact that it happens pretty much proves that it exists though, so I am forced to accept it, thus WHAT is important as well. The problem with god is that A. if he existed, I could not explain how, but more importantly B. there is no way that I, or anyone else for that matter, can empirically prove he/she/it exists through observational evidence until he decides to start revealing himself a little more.
Also, just as a side note, why would god create humans with the ability to rationally think if, by the very act of rationally thinking, we begin to doubt him/her/it? Like, I get giving us free will to choose whether to reject or deny him as our god, and I get that the very act of revealing himself denies faith, but giving us the ability to rationally think just makes no sense. Does he just not want humans to get to heaven?
