They don't come to my gmail inbox for some reason.<br /><br />There has never been a way for reason and logic to penetrate faith unless, like in my case, there was a hunger to acquire an understanding of human nature and the physical world from testable evidence, 99.9% of which has been collected since biblical times.<br /><br />I have no need of answers to questions 'why' when asked of nature. Nature itself provides no answers, and does not need reasons to work, any more than a clock does. Is nature less wonderful if there exists no reasons, or if we seek them in vain? Do you really need reasons? If you do, does that mean they HAVE to exist. <br /><br />You say it is all too complex to understand. Now I am with you, I have a poor brain, but I see others getting answers to natures mysteries, and putting the new understanding to work. They have my respect and admiration, even when they prove each other wrong. <br /><br />"Why am I here" is not a sensible question if it implies some spiritual entity put me here for a reason I can never understand. "What can I do to help, now I am here" is a wonderful question, with answers we can all understand.<br /><br />Go with the flow of your own spirituality, as I do mine, says the happy atheist. Go well, BobAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397160420406462291noreply@blogger.com
