I'm not making a determination
I merely mention a possibility
see the "could"
that is what it means
"possibility" not "determination"
I don't see "liklihood" and "determination" as synonyms
which is why I am really an agnostic
despite what people who aren't me say about what I believe

and if they can't all be right, but could all be wrong, what is more likely?
when we are talking about fallible humans, who make mistakes constantly?"

Just out of curiosity, why do you qualify "all could be wrong"?
because there is certainly, at least the theoretical possibility, that everyone on this planet, who has a conception of a higher order, is wrong about it. Absolutely wrong. And the the higher order is something no one imagines, nor ever has imagined. Why isn't that possible? Why qualify the possibility with "partially wrong"?

Not saying a higher order exists remember- just saying if it did, it seems to me it would be possible for it to be something no one is right about. Unless merely mentioning the higher order gives you some "right" points. Maybe that is what you are saying. Wasn't clear.
