Yes. It is a case of infinite regression, usually ending in some platitude like "the poor human mind can't comprehend" or my personal favorite, "the lord works in mysterious ways." But the infinite regression of explaining one mystery with another is evident, and invalidates the entire approach.

Good observation. Do you mean to say that the definition of life that believers have might be finite, limited, possibly not the whole picture? Do you mean that no matter how well they think they grasp it, there is something much bigger and more mysterious than they can possibly imagine out there and yet they fail to look beyond the obvious and fail to stand in awe at the mystery of it all? Do you mean that they look down on others who don't see things the way that they see them as well as go around criticizing them because others don't see things the way that they see them?
One thing I think we should all agree on is that there is a VERY LARGE degree of MYSTERY in it all. Let's all step back, take a good look, take a deep breath and go "wow!" How did all of this beauty get here?
Love, joy and peace to you.

Did I ask to be born? No So why ought to I be thankfull for existence. sure i'm thankfull for existence because i understand what it feels pick to be alive yet when I were no longer alive contained in the first position I couldnt no longer even exist the only secret is that its 2008 and individuals nevertheless frow away a share of their free will into faith. existence is an ingredient to this Univese The Universe is outfitted on negatives, impartial, positives infinity, probailities, and spontaneous subsequently you could under no circumstances write the unverse contained in the e book and knowlegde about it truly is infinity it became no longer created nor will it end. celebration (Your existence) positive- Your born impartial- you stay detrimental- You die Spontaneous- Your existence seem from nowhere possibilities- activities on your existence and its result Infinity-The atoms which make up one hundred% of you've and could always be right here

The trouble lies with people for whom mystery is anathema.
These types cannot stand the thought that there might be some things about reality, creation, the universe, us or God that will forever be beyond their understanding. It's a matter of pride.
God is INFINITE. We're finite.
God is omniscient. We're only intelligent.
There's nothing pitiable, shameful or sad about this. It is. LIVE WITH IT!
The mystery of how God can be One and be Three.
The mystery of how God can be flesh and blood human and still be Almighty God.
The mystery of how a virgin can conceive and give birth without losing her virginity.
The mystery of how God can be crucified, die and rise from the dead, without losing a speck of His divinity.
The mystery of how we are commanded to eat His flesh and drink His blood (ie, cannabalism) in order "to have life within us".
That last lost Him a lot of followers. It still does. Because they then and many today cannot accept the mystery of the Eucharist. They go "yucko" and walk away, muttering.
Faith is simply the decision to accept that you are NOT God, that there will always be things about Him you CANNOT understand, but loving Him, you accept them anyway.

I don't know, are those who believe in evolution trying to explain one mystery with a bigger mystery?
No matter what you believe in, you are still stuck with the question "where did it all come from". Evolution doesn't answer that, because what was before the big bang? You can't have something come from nothing.

No not the believers but the religious,and I did not look at previous question,but guess what there is only a mystery about God and his kingdom to the ones that are playing a game and not really seeking the truth.Maybe they like what mommy or daddy or the preacher or the soothsayer says better than what God says,if this makes any sense to you.
