Science tells us that we might understand about 5% of the universe. And that this knowledge is questionable.
This threat is meant as a opportunity for nerds like me to open up thoughts about things that we are told are unknowable.
So to start things off and perhaps to agitate many, the following, while not a devine vision, are my thoughts on the matter:
We are not an accident. If we started with a "Big Bang" so be it. A purposeful big bang. Some entity caused it and we have been evolving ever since.
Our consciousness is said to be unique among all earth's animals This uniqueness is our essence and remains alive even after our mortal bodies have expired.
We each are endowed with what could be called a spirit. This spirit is our councilor and if we choose to listen it will guide us throughout our lives. "Those that have ears let them hear"
If this sounds religious it is not my intent. I just want to express (after a lifetime of organized religion) the unvarnished core beliefs that sustain me during these rough times.
