Some In Error Dismiss Religion as Illusion

 Some say that reality is an illusion. If that were so then illusion could be considered to be reality. Reality does seem to be a secondary quality or product of the conversion of energy into mass when particles of the 2-dimensional universe encounter the Higgs field, slow down from light speed and acquire a third dimension in that process. Subatomic particles acquire the extra-dimension and let energy exist as mass in this Universe.  Philosophy's task is to discover truth and wisdom rather than to destroy things. One may surpass illusions sometimes with better knowledge. It is popular these days because of the discovery of evolution to attack Christianity as if it were in contradiction, yet that isn't too wise, for the Bible as the eternal word of God and reality in that regard is contingent being. Evolution is just a way particles are ordered in the mass of this Universe and cosmology is not in some sort of plain contradiction to the idea that God created this Universe. The mind of God would contain any possible Multiverse structure that may or may not exist, and there is a wealth of philosophical, theological and scientific ideas that can be developed regarding the nature of God, the creator of any possible Universe etc. People just want to act pre-emptively, dismissively so they can be trendy and go about life without any necessary moral duties.
