We can only try to figure things our as best we can as human beings. Whetman was trying to prove that God (creator of the universe) exists by using the best theories that we have. It's the best we can do. If someone says that the casuality theories cannot apply to outside space time and matter because we dont know anything outside space time and matter I say to them, "do you have a better theory?"
5. We may not know anything outside of time space and matter but there is something responsible for our existance and that is God. Call it what you want, go as far back in time as you want but there is an ultimate power somewhere down the line and that is what we as human beings should call God. From a religious standpoint, putting your faith in an idea that cannot be proven (by proven I mean visible by in the spectrum that our human eyes can see or believable by modern logical thought) and worshiping (feeling fear and gratitude) it is part of what seperates us from the other species on earth. Some people don't worship or think of God as a being that created us but I think a basic belief in a higher power somewhere is essential to every great human mind.
