I think it is impossible. I live in my head in two worlds. I have the world of my own ideas, which I cannot step outside of- it is the world of my preferences, inborn in me, and shaped by my life history. There is also, in my mind, a world of possibility that there is an existence of ideas outside myself- outside the "box" of my own existence, and outside of human existence. In that realm, where ideas are "pure" and uncontaminated (where Einstein's universal field theory exists, I'm sure)- there is a world I can never visit, I can only keep in my mind the possible existence of it, since I am flesh and bone- I suspect most things work together for a "whole" I do not understand.

It is this idea some people call God- but I think it is simple the workings of the universe. I don't need to add a God in to the mix. The laws and matter of the universe (which are probably in the end one and the same) are without compassion for humans or any other living thing, and just "are".
