This article argues against scientistic arguments of the redundancy of religious belief structures due to the explicability of the physical world, as exemplified here by a discussion of the “popular science” of Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss. It is claimed that the root of belief in “sense” is in animation, rather than in cosmological creation myths. The paper displays that the ideal of the absolute is linguistically signified by the termini “survival” and “freedom” in human understanding. However, it does not appear through human understanding as an illusion stemming from the illegitimate inference of a pantheistic spirit or prime mover. Instead, human reason builds an analytical understanding upon a fundamental instinct, which long predates human-level consciousness. Approaching the subject’s role in the physical world, the article displays that animation itself, as the primal form of awareness and agency, is the urge to overcome an inherent antagonism in the structure of being. It is argued that the cosmological argument is mirrored by an argument that has no strict theoretical cogency, but is likewise irreducible and irrefutable by science. Science investigates the object empirically but has limited explanatory capabilities when it comes to subjective being.

本文反对由于物理世界的可解释性而导致宗教信仰结构冗余的科学论点，正如这里对理查德·道金斯和劳伦斯·克劳斯的“大众科学”的讨论所举例说明的。据称，“感觉”信仰的根源在于动画，而不是宇宙创世神话。论文表明，绝对的理想在语言上是由人类理解中的术语“生存”和“自由”来表示的。然而，在人类的理解中，它并不表现为泛神论精神或原动力的非法推论产生的幻觉。相反，人类理性建立在基本本能之上的分析性理解，这种本能早于人类意识水平。接近主体在物理世界中的角色，文章表明，动画本身作为意识和能动性的原始形式，是克服存在结构中固有对抗的冲动。有人认为，宇宙论的论点是由一个没有严格理论说服力的论点所反映的，但同样是科学不可简化和不可反驳的。科学根据经验研究对象，但在涉及主观存在时，其解释能力有限。
