The Devil wants to bring you into his heart, in his way, on his time, and so that you will disappear forever. I think the metaphor in the most recent Stranger Things is good. Initially you retain some semblance of outer form, even though you are gone. Eventually, the husk falls off.
This is a strange and infinite universe. Do not discount too easily what is possible. Our science does not exist, at the moment, primarily to extend the range of what we know, but rather to draw curtains around the areas of what we do know, or think we know, so as to conceal the darkness beyond.
Beyond what they can speak of with confidence, they do not want to speak at all. This is a psychological problem, brought on by a valid fear that our ignorance may yet prove to be infinite. All of the smarter ones sense this intuitively. Atheism is their answer, but it is not a very good answer. They want to make everything knowable, because small. I don’t think the universe works like that, and in any event the universe works the way it works. It does not exist to humor our anxieties, and has no need to offer clear answers.
Certainly that it has already so many good answers, so many seeming natural laws would seem to point to some order, but as David Hume pointed out, we cannot infer with absolute certainty that if one billiard ball hits another, that the second one will move, even if it has 10,000 times before. We assert the word “law” merely because we have not yet found the exception.
This sort of thinking scares people. It is perhaps right to be scared . But I would assert that if anything is clear in this life, it is that one of our main tasks is conquering fear.
And speaking personally, I have long found a certain beauty in fuzziness. Certainly, I like to draw clear lines. But this is only possible in the abstract. In the real world, I build these beautiful thought structures, then have to watch them swirl and fade into colored mist the moment they touch the light of practical reality. Still, if you start with good lines, something remains. You simply have to remember that most of the time the straightest lines are curved, as Chuang Tzu noted a long time ago.
