As a man of science I guess I see things in a different light than most. Some have asked me if I believe in God and my answer to that is Yes. But maybe not in the way most do. If you look at the human civilization you will notice that it is history that makes us who we are. For thousands of years we have went from one belief to another, all sharing the same common thread. Be good to each other and there is an other worldly presents that explains our origins. There have been several Gods like the ones we believe into today dating back much longer than the Bible and or the Torah. We seem to forget that history did not start with either of these beliefs. There have been at least 20 different men who preached like Jesus and died in the same way and many of them were to have been resurrected. Why am I saying this, well because we all share a common goal, we all believe in something we think we understand but in essence we know very little of the origins or the genesis of our beginnings. The books we read today give us a easy explanation of both and a set of rules to follow, that to me seem to be very easy to do. But we as humans do not like easy. We make things way to complicated and we tend to muddy the waters with mans interpretation of what is real or not real. We spend more time thinking we are Gods and playing God, when all along we should just be happy that we are alive in this beautiful world. Alive enough to experience love compassion, beauty and peacefulness. And the wonders of the nature around us. The small but common nuances that make up life on this spaceship flying through space at several thousand miles per hour. We take for granted the delicate balance of the space around us, and how easy it would be for something to come from deep space and wipe this planet clean of all life.
Well all I can say is I do not have all the answers and I know no one else does either. Because if we here on earth had them we would not be indiscriminately killing people for Ideological reason. (My God is better than yours) (Mine is the one true God) this question has killed more people throughout history than any Plague or war could ever have done. Have you ever just went outside and looked up at the stars at night and just wondered what is out there, kind of like you use to do as a child, before your mind was made up for you by the people that surround you as you get older. How far would we have progressed as a species if the Dark Ages had not stifled science because Religion thought it was Heresy. What were they so afraid of. And can someone tell me why Muslims still preach that the world is flat, and that the picture from the ISS are banned in most of their countries. North Koreans do not even realize we have even put a man on the moon. But they have not limited themselves to making the most destructive weapons on earth. And to be all to end all Iran. Give them a weapon with that type of power would be like throwing children to a child molester.
We should set back and take a very long look at our lives, we need to make changes. If we do not make them we are doomed to fail at our own hands without even knowing the truth of our existence. A very Religious man once asked me if I believed in God, and one my best friends asked me that same question. Hell I had a woman I had known for a while ask me if I was an atheist. And my answer to them is this. Taking my scientific background in Theoretical Physics, and HelioPhysics I do not pretend to understand everything. I just understand what my heart tells me. I do believe there was someone that created us and has guided us to where we are today. I also contend that this same entity wanted us to be much like them. We were given the tools to become like the creator and we have been given the ability to also attain the same insight as the creator or creators themselves. In just about all ancient text, it stated that God created us in his own image. That would seem to me like he or she would want us to attain the same stature. That is to understand the Universe the same way, and to show love and compassion the same way. To forgive and to help those who need it. But also to allow them to find their own way. Because a person true of heart will find their way. If not indoctrinated we tend to find the right path and we find that discrimination against one another is less desirable.
We as a species will reach a presuppose where we will have to make a choice. One to destroy each other or work together for a common goal. and that goal being to find out and seek out what we are doing here and why. We as a species have the knowledge to do so but we do not have the determination to work together. Throughout the whole world tonight people are dreaming of what the future holds for themselves, they have fantastic dreams of a world that works together. And most of them want to know what is out beyond the earth. It is in our nature to know or want to know. But the one thing that separates us is the one thing that has killed so many. There is no easy answer to the question of which religion is right. But it would be to our benefit for the world to come together to answer that question without malice.
Just my Thoughts.
