3. The scientific(!!!) answer is to keep using your natural-born way of thinking.

Do you know how the brains and behaviour of children develop? Hint: Brains are neural networks.

They conduct trial&error experiments.

If I throw a tantrum, will that get me a toy? Yes or No?
If I put dirt in my mouth, will it taste good? Yes or No?
If I destroy that, will that get me in trouble? Yes or No?
The test-results are noted and influence future behaviour and future experiments.

This is the natural way your brain operates and programs itself and it does so from the very first moment you have a sensory perception.



Religion invents explanations that contradict your experiments and then outlaws you from questioning them by claiming that your mode of thinking should be belief. Religion is completely un-natural.
