God's paradox

Since I was a child, I liked to watch movies about the interstellar universe.

Interstellar, Star Wars. Rising Stars. And this interstellar legend.

The situation can wait. Revisiting this 20-year-old Vin Diesel masterpiece many years later. It reminded me of a question I had when watching a movie many years ago.

In a foreign space, on a completely unfamiliar planet. What is the meaning of belief?

Faith comes from ignorance. And curiosity and fear of the unknown world. So why are there still imams praying incessantly in the highly technologically advanced interstellar legend journey? Technology cannot save ignorance. Often times, it's the opposite. Just like Newton and Jobs were both devout Buddhists. And of course Robert Baggio. Maybe technology can expand human cognition. When the circle you know expands, your unknown field is like a circle, getting wider and longer. And this "Arc of the Unknown" is precisely the breeding ground for religion.

And another question arose.

The core of religion is cosmology.

When human beings have the ability to know and walk into the universe. I finally discovered the true face of the universe in front of me, so why do I still believe in religion? When one day, the magic of creation has become commonplace in travel, is it all the laws of physics or the will of God?
