Mark, No the universe does not really look as perfect as we ourselves sometimes think we as a species are. (At least the "Man Centered Universe" idea ended centuries ago). And as science is predictiong, meteorites, asteroids, and comets can really put a dent in the notion that Man is the center of all things. The universe at large is far from perfect in our eyes... It is in a constant state of slow motion chaos. And Man himself is also in a much higher and faster state of conflict and chaos. As for God, Man cannot prove or disprove. But there are revelations, visions, and dreams. This year, I have had all three. We are all going to die, some soon, some later. I had an NDE when I was in the hospital on my death bed, locked in that weird coma state. What I "saw" opened my "eyes" even though theoretically I could not see anything were I was at the time. I now realize that my whole perception of the concept of God has been altered by the experience. God does exist. I can't prove it, but I can, in this very chaotic life, live true to what I know... Even though I know that all my efforts will not win me or gain favor with God. God exists, and I know that all of us will someday come to know that even if we don't believe it now. And I think that we will know the questions to all things, and not have to concentrate on such questions then as we do now. Steve Schoner/ams BTW: I have quite a few questions about meteorites, and I will have quite a few more when that final day comes. I also have a question that I would love to ask God, so I keep in in my mind now, so that I remember to ask it when I get there. Why nerves in teeth that do not heal, but when they go bad, they really hurt...Never to heal. You did it right in sharks, why not us? LOL! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
