(2,262 posts)The argument there is this: that even the God of most Christians, and certainly the universe attributed to God, is full of much order. And rules, that mostly adhere in the universe we see around us, most of the time.
Many of these rules are currently known. And it is useful to know them. Knowing them helps us make things work. But ignoring them too much, and saying it is all a "mystery," slows down the process of seeing the order, the rules around us. And slows down the process of learning how life works. It makes us more ignorant that we need to be.
Ironically in fact, worshiping "mystery" deifies ignorance. The less one understands, or tries to understand, the more "mysterious" the life is. But this means that embracing "mystery," encourages dysfunctional ignorance.
