I'm just thinking about a realm of thought that has never been proven yet still has provided humankind with answers. Although the answers may have led to scientific theory and experiments, why deny the importance of knowledge seeking and out of the box thinking.
I havn't been on the site for a few months but still see others try to shatter the dreams of their own kind.
Sometimes I wonder if the mind we are trying to manipulate or trying to convince them to leave their own ideas behind, we are actually doing more harm than good.
Anyways, instead of subcategorizing ourselves into a "Unique" or "Different" label, I don't understand why we can't just all consider ourselves co-creators and dreamers.
Bringing dreams into the now; Thoughts onto paper and into physical structure or a similar manner.
Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

You should read Rodney Stark's book "For the Glory of God: How Monotheism Lead to Reformations, Science, Witchhunts and the End of Slavery" (Princeton Universtiy Press, 2003).
A growing number of scholars are now willing to admit that science, far from being incompatible with faith, could not have arisen without certain ideas of God, namely that Universe was created by a rational God and therefore running on rational principles that are just waiting to be discovered. As Galileo wrote: "The book of nature is a book written by the hand of God in the language of mathematics."
China, India, Arabia, Greece, Rome all had alchemy, but chemistry - and true *science* (not just philosophy, not just technology) - arose only once: in Europe. Why? Because Europe embraced Christianity, which was not the "superstition" that angry and so-called "Englightenment" philosophers (like Voltaire) would have us believe, but rather provided the *exactly* the frame work needed for the rise of science in its presentation of a rational God who follows his own rules.

properly, even atheistic Buddhists have a metaphysics. i think of metaphysics is a could desire to, while you evaluate that's what supplies the transcendence or extra beneficial this potential that makes spirituality attainable. Even an appreciation for attractiveness, interior the way Dawkins claims, is metaphysical and teleological.

A noble idea, my friend. Personally, I am leaning towards God being the big bang. That would bring God and science together.
We could all learn from each other, that is for sure.
It is good to see you on the boards again.

Albert Enstien very much believed in god. He usually strated his thinking with "If I were God How would I organize the universe."
