It's interesting how much that lines up with my own beliefs.

:
:
: Science can only go so far. It can answer certain questions like that ball
: of fire, weather, and chemistry and so on.
:
: However science cannot explain science itself. We can explain that water
: freezes at a certain temperature which we have declared a standard. We can
: get down to the atomic and subatomic particles and explain those, but that
: still doesn't answer why.
:
: We have to look farther beyond physical to really understand these things.
: It is very easy to accept that a supreme being created everything and set
: the rules. Because we don't have the technology to understand what created
: those rules, we must accept that for now.
:
: Maybe some day science will progress to the point where we can
: actually look
: back and see things as they were created.
:
: Sure I can explain that a fertilized seed takes nutrients from the ground
: and its cells divide and change to create the parts of a flower. And I can
: even understand the biology and chemistry behind it.
:
: To explain what caused the system requires faith that there is something
: greater that we cannot and should not understand at this time.
:
: Over the millions of years all religions have evolved to accept
: new science
: and technology to explain details of the physical being. But nobody can
: without a shadow of a doubt scientifically prove any form of creation, we
: can theorize, and we can have faith in our theories.
:
: Our understanding still has limitations, we can only understand
: what we can
: see, we can watch plant cells divide, we can watch sub-atomic
: particles slow
: down, however we cannot explain why.
:
: All Religions evolve, some combine others split up, in the end
: people choose
: what they want to believe and align them selves with a religion
: that agrees
: with them.
