i believe there are higher beings than myself and that things usually happen for a reason. as to whether all this occurs by one individual being, i have not decided. i think that a lot of things can't be explained and until they are then something greater than myself is the cause and carer.
Good for you Vitalisa Nexus Foremose. You have faith but do not use it to hurt and persecute others. Just remember that people have different concepts of "God" some believe in one supreme being others in more than one God and or Godess.
No scientist is prevented from working or teaching because they believe in God. This is propaganda that is spread by the Christian "intelligent design" creationists. They deny the fact of evolution and a biologist who denies that cannot believe in bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics. That sort of idea is dangerous and would lead to people dying. But an astronomer or physicist who thinks that would not be prevented from working in their fields. Evolution explains all there is as far as life and its complexity goes.
i have struggled so much with this. but after reading all of Abaddon's posts...im feeling better about things. i wont say that i dont believe in God because i know better than that. but i dont believe that God gives a flying fart in space about people in general. humans i mean...religions all seem to have it ass backwards. i mean, seriously...i would think he's way too busy maintaining the universe to be concerned with what humans are doing on *one* of his many planets. and one of the smallest planets at that...
