Basically, your point of view as expressed in this thread is mystical rather than scientific. That's fine if it's what you're into, but don't be surprised if it makes more scientific types roll their eyes.
Do you think, scientists are atheists by definition?
I have a different experience.
And yes, mysticism is also my thing, but I don't see it as odds with science, as I don't make claims about the structure of the world. I simply say, I also did study a bit of physic, before switching to IT, but I did not got the impression, it is remotely solved, nor understood. Go a bit deeper or bigger and it all gets blurry quickly. So plenty of room for all kinds of even more freaky things.
No, I don't think they are all atheists. But I do think they tend to roll their eyes at the sort of mysticism you're describing. The two things are not the same.
Well, and I tend to roll my eyes about arrogance leading to humans repeating the same misstakes again and again.
Because even though I personally tend towards mysticism - as the universe is a pretty big mysterious place to me, this is just curiosity:
"But since we only know so very little when going really small or really big, I do say it is an interesting thought to give room for quark or dark matter based life, or the theoretical organism of a black hole."
I made no claim of anything here. "Just stating, hey things get already pretty wild and unexpected on the border of our understanding. I don't think it is smart ruling anything out yet."
If you roll your eyes to this, so be it.
It is just, that I was a bit interested in the history of science and I know rolling eyes is a tradition of the established ones.
