Secular and non-secular have to come to similar conclusions and believe in the extraordinary. The former has to believe that things like neurons always were and always will be, the former replaces that with a higher being. The former has to believe in the virgin birth of the universe, the latter has to believe that for one man. The former cannot explain how everything came into existence, the latter cannot explain how God came into existence.

What pushes me for the non-secular is that our solar system feels too fine tuned to be random. The odds of our planet coming together the way it has is improbable to the point of impossible. I don't just mean life, but things like the gas giants capturing asteroids that could've hit us or our moon keeping us stable on our axis from large-scale earthquakes. We are not perfectly safe from catastrophe, but we're way too lucky for it to all be coincidence.

I also think non-secular philosophers and teachings just have more value than people like Nietzche or Marx. I'm much happier reading and dwelling on the ideas of John Milton than I am of Immanuel Kant. Really, I think people who believe in the supernatural or otherworldly in general are much happier than those who don't. To not want to engage with those ideas at all is like rejecting all music or art. Who wants to live a life like that?
