[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have trouble wrapping my head around the theory of relativity, the immense vastness of the universe, and subatomic particles that exist in ten different dimensions, but I know they exist. 
Just because something is impossible to understand, or that it is understood by most people only in occasional, fleeting moments, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Also, I agree with some of the reading mentioned here.  I think a lot of people learn about God as children, then never bother to learn more as they grow up.  So the language many people have for God is the language used to teach children about difficult subjects.  Like if you never learned anything more about string theory past middle school or poetry beyond Shel Silverstein.  As an adult, these things would seem silly.  So God sounds like a loveable spaghetti monster in the sky.  Nice, but kind of irrelevant to real, adult life.  [/quote]

Hey, don't rag on Shel Silverstein :) [/quote]

Lol... I’m not!  But I think it’s a pretty good analogy.  If all you really read of poetry was Shel Silverstein, then you would think of it as something nice that you have enjoyed since childhood with some good moral lessons.  And someone telling you that they find poetry difficult to understand, but nevertheless important and meaningful to their lives would sound like an idiot or completely insane.  [/quote]
