> dhw: It is certainly confusing. ... But of course the confusion might be caused by the fact that we are specks of dust that arrived long after the birth of our planet, and for all our technical prowess we cannot observe any of the phenomena we theorize about (birth of the universe, infinity, eternity, origin of life). We are way, way, way out of our depth. But it's fun to speculate.-There is speculation but also scientific advances that are spectacular. We can see echoes of the BB in the CMB. We have gotten an age for the BB. We see fine tuning, but don't know how life started. Yet philosophers like Adler offers proof of God from what has been observed. John Leslie offers a 50/50 statement, paraphrased, it is either God or multiverses, which also might have been provided by God). I don't think we are out of our depth with the information we have and which is still developing.
