@Umbreon@donphan.social I thought about relating that viewpoint to atheism or agnosticism but I felt like it's distinct enough to be it's own thing.
It treats the existence of god more as a question of scope and context than a question of yes or no.
The idea is that for a lot of questions (almost all of them actually), the existence of a godlike being simply isn't applicable to find the answer with.
You can find AN answer, but it won't be one that brings you closer to true understanding.

@Umbreon@donphan.social Strictly speaking, god could come absolutely down teach me physics. But that isn't really something he's known to do frequently. And outside of stories that people tell to each other, people who claim to have observed him doing so usually turn out to not be fully genuine. Though, who's to say he ISN'T teaching us physics? Just not in person but instead by having creating phenomena and giving us the freedom of choice to notice and examine them ourselves?
