Put yourself into the position of a dog. A dog is responsive, shows intuition, looks at us with eyes behind which there is intelligence of a sort, and yet a dog must not understand most of the things it sees people doing. It must have no idea how they invented, say, the internal-combustion engine. So maybe what we need to do is imagine that we’re dogs and that there are realms that go beyond our understanding.
[…]
The mystery of being is a permanent mystery, at least given the present state of the human brain.
John Updike on the universe and why there is something rather than nothing
