Great minds can sometimes guess the truth before they have either the evidence or arguments for it (Diderot called it having the "esprit de divination").

On a personal level :
That I'll never marry or have kids. It is a pain in the **** to have to logically explain this to people whenever the stupid subject arises, I never find the appropriate words, I suppose. Either that, or people are just close-minded poops.
On a non-personal level :
That there is intelligent life other than us humans somewhere. Maybe dumber, maybe smarter, OK I'll grant the nay-sayers that much, but I am sure they're at least as smart as a retard.
Also, that animals really DO feel what we call 'love', I mean animal mothers for their babies, and it is NOT 'just instinct'.

Its so obvious and apparent to me, that to explain it AGAIN...all of it...its so so long...I would have to write a diatribe and I am not in the mood right now..
some quickies for you:
-liberalism will sour society and lead to a form of silent totalitarianism
-Great men beleived in God, but how do you define God? God in general is a "higher power", this can be a cosmic force, a benevolent natural hardwiring from nature to preserve the species, etc. I beleive in God, and I beleive God is good. But the christian religion, the muslim religion and the jewish religion, are all ridiculous.
-systems of order seek stability (or greater degrees of order) works as follows: a simple lego peice (with a color), must be combined with others (of different color), to form a greater peice of alternating colors,----you will find of all the combinations, a set defined pattern and shape will form a bigger peice that meets these criteria most efficiently, and this is the new "island of stability"...then this become the "new simple peice" and from there, you can build another even "larger scaled" "island of stability"
there is something also about probability and how this relates to life forming and such, but again, I would be here for a long time, so I will just leave you with those tidbits.

Reality.
We all see and understand life from our own, and behind that is the sum of what we all perceive. Wow, a greater Reality. Neat !
Underneath that is a physical Universe that nurtures us in spite of its very violent Supernova nature.
Life is a miracle, even if it took Evolution ten trillion years... on ten trillion planets to evolve ... the universe contains many millions of
of Galaxy's each containing millions or billions of stars ... Life is teeming and common in our universe, like seeing grass or a weed sprouting through a sidewalk where you never thought it would grow.
That's what I believe, and that we are all a part of the same Being and should treat each other accordingly.
The whole universe, including us sentient beings, is not just made up of atoms and particles ... but thought! (call them thought particles if you want) ... Quantum Physics backs me up.
So, to finally answer your question...
Mind may be inherent in our nature due to nature itself, or there really is a God.
I do believe that God is at the center of you and me, but I don't believe He is in the sky manipulating everybody to "his" will.
No petty gods please.
Conciseness is a central part of your nature. From whence He/We came I don't care. I just enjoy it.
Thanks for the thought provoking question.

If souls do exist and when they ascend to heaven, they'll feel no joy or love or any kind of emotions because these are earthly feelings produced by our brains.
