Perhaps you could explain further how I am mistaken and you agree. Whether someone rationalizes something to themselves to make it "true" or "absolute" is irrelevant.

You say the universe is understandable, how do you know this? Do you communicate with it? Have you deciphered a way to crack eons-old mysteries? Sorry to play the sarcasm card, but realistically the universe is, at this point in history, unknowable, unseeable, and un-understandable. To say that nothing happens outside of the universe's intelligence is both baseless and untrue, because, quite frankly we don't know.

I do agree with this.

There is somewhere else to go - straight into the ground. The idea that our conscience continues after the expiration of our bodies is one which, although it may (and I stress
may) be possible, cannot be asserted with any sort of confidence. Persons who claim that it can are acting on faith, and faith is inherently devoid of reason. I may believe I can fly, but that sure doesn't make it so.
