"Argue from ignorance"

Houdin's Skeptical Advise

I try so hard to put my self in a meditative place, but ignorance gets me in a strangle hold and I am doomed...and at the same time i am critical of ignorance...dilemma!!!

Just being aware of duality is not enough for me, I keep trying to move beyond it. I am a fool that way. Maybe I am coming to my senses at the tender age of 71. Like those little statues of the laughing Buddha a lot. Sometimes Vonnegut's humor seems kind of grim, but it is kind I think. I have heard that Christ had a or has a sense of humor.

"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand." kind of a koan maybe by Kurt Vonnegut from Cat's Craddle

This problem is called the argument from ignorance (“it must be true because it has not been proven false”) or sometimes the argument from personal incredulity (“because I cannot imagine a natural explanation, there cannot be one”). Such fallacious reasoning comes up so often in my encounters with believers that I conclude it must be a product of a brain unsatisfied with doubt; as nature abhors a vacuum, so, too, does the brain abhor no explanation. It therefore fills in one, no matter how unlikely.
