Science is fascinating. You do an excellent job in explaining things, Naut.

I suppose we are not actually intelligent enough to grasp the whole concept of being.
It is like a thought falling forever. You do simplify matters though which is what most folk can deal with.

Your analysis of "Christian Science" makes sense to me.

I like, 'Christans were able to separate Science and faith.' And 'Even if they didn't
believe in creation in the literal sense.'

I am all those things already mentioned in earlier comments. I stare up at the stars for hours and feel I'll never know all the answers and it comforts me.....I hold a book held by someone centuries ago and am enchanted, far more fascinated....for I am sure that happened....can connect to the feelings of a fellow human, and want to know so much about that world, that person....and my mind is off and running.....The Science and The Christian will always be like streams flowing to the ocean, intersecting and moving apart, and yet ending up at the same place regardless of what it is called. Maybe someday we will all be past and all answers will be known...at last...for sure.

I must say that it is great to read on Scienctific Theories either being confirmed or questioned. It , for me, keeps the discipline subjective and ever new. So much to discover and am I allowed to say that as a Christian the more of science I follow and the more that is discovered the closer i feel to God creating. Everything is too ordered, too mathematical, works too well for it al to be chaos.

I love the wonder of it. And I like the way those who understand it
better than I do get so excited about all the possibilities. I don't think I'll ever be able to think of a sky full of stars twinkling not-so-far overhead as a journey backward through time, even though I kinda-sorta understand the concept of distance and light traveling over much of that.

Re: Re: Typo or intended?
Naut - of course I was wrong and that's why I said "sometimes I think..." I was being a bit facetious. I love just about anything "Science" and love the way it makes me think.

Re: Typo or intended?
TAPS, my dear, thank you for finding that nasty typo - of course I meant 'stimulate' and have corrected it, LOL...I know, I know, there's something wrong with my typing skills, but other than going back to typing school, I don't know how to fix it...
But about there not being much thinking in science - well, dear, for once you're entirely wrong, and that's extremely rare...

Typo or intended?
When you say that Justi's comment "simulates thinking" is that really what you meant?...or did you mean "stimulates thinking"? Sometimes I think that science itself, in the true sense of the word doesn't allow for much thinking--only for testing. On the other hand Biblical scriptures and Christian mores really get the mind going.
