its all connected.
common human mistakes about god:
1) defining god.
2) separating yourself from god.
3) trusting in god without trusting in yourself
4) refuting the existence of god without defining existence itself.
god may be nothing more than a principle or a symbol.
i choose neither to believe in god nor believe in the non-existence of god.
beliefs usually cause expectations,
and expectations are prisons of the mind.
juxtaposing theories such as creation and evolution can co-exist quite comfortably if we remember that they are only theories, if we can conclude that we all know that we don't know who's right. Ironic how "scientists" can easily get caught up in proving theories about undefinable things like god, using analytical rhetoric. in the end, its still a theory. and if we are to be accurate and scientific about things (if that is important to us) we must catch ourselves from letting our beliefs sway our theoretical postulations and conclusions. the placebo of belief is a dangerous obstacle to all sciences.
