Michael's metaphysical assumtions

The idea that somthing can come from nothing is irrational. As far back as history can be told, people have always had a concept of a greater power. Things simply don't appear out of thin air. Even scientist and religion agree that there is a reason for everything. Metaphysics are an explaination for things we don'tunderstand and our minds have not grasp.

Most philosophers discribe metaphysics as the nature of reality. No mattter what religioin you practice there is a supreme power with some set of principals regarding the laws of nature. I'm not big on being a follower but when a concept has that much powe from so many indivduals you can't help but to be persuaded into reality. The metaphysical world can offer anwsers for the things our technological minds have not understood. The universe around us is ever changing and is so large and diverse that it out wieghts the current capacity of our brain. Out of metaphysics a purpose arises, even if it is only to figure out the W's( who, what, when, where, and why?) of our lives.

When humans began to distinguish the difference between good and evil we began to become metaphysic beings. Even the most brilliant scientist can only prove a theory so far before hitting a mental barrior. Albert Einstein was one of the most brilliant scientist of our time and still he believed in a higher power or God. Socrates( A philosopher) once made a formula to believing in God. If you don't believe in any kind of metaphysics then you have gained nor lost anything but if you do have a belief you'll have a healthier society regardless if there is a reward in the afterlife. Basically, you have everything to gain and nothing to loss.

Metaphysics has built purpose for learning not only in the world around us but has helped us learn more than we thought possible, pushing the bounderies of human knowledge. Learning the nature of the world is important for survival and key to bettering life. Metaphysics are weak in proof but strong in faith. The metaphysical world helps comfort us in our unknowing and can help us start to grasp the ideas that seem impossible. With the modern science mixed with metaphysics there is no bound for the human mind.
