Your entire reality is a rushing river of electrochemical data, acquired by your senses, that literally pours into your brain every second of your existence on Earth.  Our brains (and senses) evolved solely as an attempt to utilize this information for survival purposes, quite possibly as a direct result of its stimulating effects on our earliest ancestors--the single-celled creatures which existed eons ago.



Taking things a bit deeper, the emergence of biological life itself may be the result of information overload.  Amino acid molecules for instance, constantly hammered by datastreams in the universal forge, were fashioned into structures better suited for acquiring and employing this data advantageously, in the eternal quest for growth and reproduction.

A question now arises:  are we receiving all the data available?

Imagine a young boy at a carnival.  The child is virtually overwhelmed with the sights, sounds, and smells.  This cacophony of experience, pleasurable though it may be, is enough to drive the child toward the oasis of a cotton-candy stand or baseball toss, say, if only to seek momentary refuge from the torrential river of information flooding his senses.  It’s virtually impossible to take the whole carnival in at once, and the boy reacts naturally by imposing his own boundaries, effectively limiting his options to something more comprehensible.

Undoubtedly, our long-ago ancestors reacted the same way, devoting their evolutionary energies to construct our modern senses – tactile, aural, visual, olfactory, taste -- one by one, due mostly to their own inherent organic limits on energy, and certainly time.  The evolution of the human eye, for instance, must have been a monumental undertaking, in terms of the required time and evolutionary energies, dwarfing by analogy the construction of even Egypt’s pyramids.

Given this premise, it is almost inevitable that we, as human beings, are not seeing the whole picture.  We are also not hearing it, smelling it, tasting it, or feeling it.  In the billion-year blink of an eye, we have successfully evolved our dismally inadequate sensory boxes—our brains, and now we attempt, futilely, to understand the universal carnival we have been thrust into.  We, as humans, are not fish out of water… we are mere bottom-feeders, most definitely in the water.


The answers to the Big Questions are out there, we just can’t perceive the "invisible" data necessary to build meaningful scientific models.  Yet.  We are simply blind, deaf, and dumb.

We don’t need God, we just need better sensors.
