Evidence shows that fear and ignorance have been among the effective motivations on ancestors’ belief in metaphysical matters. Because unfamiliarity with natural factors of events has led many to consider God or gods as source and refuge for these phenomena.
But with the clarification of the role of material processes, gradually the domain of theological discussions’ dominance has been reduced and the power of science has increased; to the point where today a significant part of the new generation considers abandoning metaphysical beliefs as a sign of thought and knowledge growth.
But we must be careful that opposition to an incorrect idea does not trap us in another error. Yes, the gap-filling god who only patches knowledge holes is an illusory god and we should consider its removal as a good omen; but the reality we have come to know with logical arguments is not such a god.
The God we have known as the support of existence and not as a being alongside other influential factors is the creator of the visible and hidden causes of the world; therefore, the revelation of nature’s mysteries not only does not narrow his arena but reveals corners of his endless greatness and knowledge.
