Funny how someone's hogwash can be another person's truth. I think a lot of this
stuff comes down to brain wiring.
Everything we are and see and do all came from a tiny dot smaller than the
period at the end of this sentence. Who or what could possibly pull that off?
Having an openess to both relgion and science allows me the freedom to not have
to choose one over the other. It allows me to NOT HAVE TO make sure that both
agree without questioning one another. It allows me to THINK without FEAR. And
IF there is a God, then science can go a long way to expose characteristics
about that creator.
