Proof of god Quote by Salman Rushdie
““to admit we do not understand a phenomenon is not to admit the presence of the miraculous but merely, reasonably, to accept the limitations of human knowledge. God was invented to explain what our ancestors couldn't comprehend: the radiant mystery of being. The existence of the incomprehensible, however, is not a proof of god.””
About This Quote
Acknowledging ignorance about a phenomenon does not prove miracles; it simply admits human limits, while the concept of God historically filled those gaps.
In simple terms: Admitting we don’t understand isn’t proof of God.
