Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
And the thing I find most amazing is that science can prove truths that will totally bend your mind. My son and I read "The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow this weekend. o_0! Minds blown! The science and math behind their deductions are rock solid, but the consequences of those deductions are so wild, it's hard for me to wrap my little brain around.
Having grown up to the ripe old age 46 without any religion science is really all I have to describe the world around me. I realize we don't have all of the answers yet, even from a scientific point of view, but we have a lot of physical proof that is leading the way towards more knowledge of our place in this universe.
I don't get faith, I don't understand religion regardless of how many classes I took in high school and college comparing and dissecting faith and the faithful and what that means.
We're all just organisms on a planet that is very lucky to have such an advantageous place in our solar system and we are lucky to have a brief life on this planet. That's all there is. Same as our food animals die to feed us we also will die and just go nowhere. There is no heaven and no hell. We are simply very fortunate to have this life on terra and as many turns around the sun as we are allowed by our physical being and its fitness for this life. We are organisms that will expire and rot and decay and there's not a thing anyone can think, say or do that will change that.
That being said, I greet each day with a smile on my face and an attitude of wonder that I was even allowed to be here, on this planet that is favorable to us humans and lets us live a wondrous life!
Choke on that C-worders! (Creationists)

Science is a process, not an end. It is about asking questions and coming up with the best possible answers that may be wrong. Check it out.
ReplyDeleteIn theory...
