A little hope left for the human race.

     I was reading through my Facebook statuses and I ran across a dear friends comments about people undercutting each others comments about the differences between Democrats and Republicans and for the most part he was right. It does become somewhat tiring to hear every little nuance of one or the other. We have somehow lost focus on what it means to speak out. One reason is to inform others of what is going on around them with tempered statements, and I guess I am guilty of this one, "anger at stupidity of our Government". But I can definitely relate to this person processing all the negative with very little positive to be said.   But I can say this for having access to such a vast knowledge base such as the internet, if you put in the time to research you will find things that will make your hair stand on end. Here lately there has not been a lot to talk about that is not positive. 

     As a Scientist I have a view of the world around me that is hard to explain. I have trouble with faith and the inner workings of faith. I was raised Baptist and had at one time what I thought was a very good grasp on my faith and human nature. But as I moved along in life I began to experience  doubt that the religion of our Grandfathers was right. Because at some point I had lost faith in the people and overall interpretation of Biblical presidents. Now that's not to say I do not believe in God because I do. But not in the same way as most. My firm belief is that this subject is so much more complex than we can ever imagine. If you look at at the very nature of our existence and the complexity of our bodies and our minds you have to ask yourself how did something from nothing come to form the human body and mind and push it into existence,  it would take something that is far beyond our comprehension. Also to create all of the wondrous life that abounds on our planet and the beauty of our Universe. 

     While I do have my doubts about all of this I have come across two people a Mother and Daughter  Terri Maxwell and Brenda Bowersock-Rennels who have given me pause and hope for the race of humans. It is their firm dedication and faith in humanity and their chosen path that has given me this pause. It gives this old Physicist another variable to use to formulate his outcome. They have not stopped at basic knowledge they continue to educate themselves on their faith and practice what they preach, how refreshing is that. One of these days I hope to be able to find the peace and pure faith they both have. But as they have, I will keep searching for my answer that will satisfy my equation of life. But until then these two wonderful people give me hope for the roll of man and woman in todays society.
