Bernie Sanders finally answers the God question: “I think everyone believes in God in their own ways, “ he said. “To me, it means that all of us are connected, all of life is connected, and that we are all tied together.”

Just to let you know right away, I edited in a bit more into that comment when you were writing this comment.

How can we know of something we can't comprehend?

That is literally the pursuit of science. We are constantly trying to comprehend the unknown. There are a bunch of good articles that just came out about Planet X, for lack of a better name, that I would encourage you to look up. We're pretty sure it is there, but we're trying to find it now. That is a really good example.

If that's not good enough, I'll give you another examples of things we don't comprehend. I'm an arborist. For a long time we didn't know how redwood sapplings could start growing from under ground cover, the understory, the midstory, and the canopy of forests that are so damn tall (the taller a canopy the less direct light gets to the floor). Not enough light gets down there and it just didn't make sense.... We found out that the 'family trees' provides nutrients through grafted roots. That science broke right before James Cameron wrote Avatar and was the basis of that movie. What is even more interesting is that we learned that even though these trees shouldn't be able to distinguish from each other genetically, they can. They will grow in a way that provides lights and only give nutrients to trees they are related to. They share their resources with family. We still don't know how as far as know. Trees are great for similes and metaphors when discussing stuff like this like the tree of knowledge and tree of life even.

Anyway, give me some sources about these "forces" instead of writing about undefined unknown blabber.

I feel like I kind of answered this above, but in case I have not, then the best answer would be math and then DNA probably... In my field of work, the golden ration appears over and over and over again. It's at the micro level, our level, and in the macro level (space). There is supreme order in math. We don't know why, but we know that it is.

So as far as I'm concerned, we need to take care of each other now. Now just politically, but in real every day life. We need to be stewards of our communities, just like trees. We need to share our resources and take care or environment in order to have a healthy forest which provides ends up providing for us in return.
