what i mean by the unknown world is exactly that. the 'known' world has expanded significantly through scientific growth, but generally speaking most of that growth has been in the very recent past. just because i recognize a spiritual aspect to my self doesn't mean i'll deny the accomplishments of science. the electron was not the best example but it was the simplest one i could think of at the moment.
it seems very limiting to me to only believe in what can be scientifically defined. it's a focus on the past, the only things that are 'real' are those that can be proven by our own means. are the individual human beings really the top of the pile of life? or are we simply components of the actual human being. does a cell truly understand the function of the organ?
basically if science explains everything we 'know' then i turn to spirituality to explain everything that remains 'unknown' to science. i'll keep turning to science and math to explain what has already happened, at the same time i'll continue turning to my spiritual side to explain what could occur, all the while i'll just be dealing with today for the brief moment it really is.

so if you don't actually know (anything) what provides you with the perspective to declare religion being only for the weak? seems to me you need a much stronger sense of self to be able to maintain an unpopular belief in the face of adversity and derision than it does to just deny your thoughts to fit in.
