Parmenides thought that everything that your mind could construct was real, thus intelegible reality. As the religions evolutioned they preached learning by comprehention, instead of observation, later even deduction from this intelegible reality. Anyway, just a note, I'm an atheist, so I don't believe in intelegible reality or pure mental constructs, to me everything has to be manifested in the tangible reality, however I'm not as naive as to think that I'm the right one and everyone else is wrong.
Right, but the point I was trying to make is that all religions contain areas of assumption, and until we know more about the universe, there is no reason why God's existence shouldn't be more likely than the universe being created from the droppings of thousands of squirrels. We simply do not know these things, and so anybody who claims they do know is as right/wrong as anybody else who does until the 'truth' is made clear (which I don't believe will ever happen to humans).
