[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the one who was talking about science. Francis Bacon, the famous philosopher, has rightly said that a little knowledge of science makes man an atheist, but an in-depth study of science makes him a believer in God. Scientists today are eliminating models of God, but they are not eliminating God.[/quote]

I am a scientist.  I believe that there is something sublime, and perhaps even divine in the natural world, the way systems work, the fragility of life.  I am truly in awe.  But I don't feel like I'm in awe of God, but of Nature as it does appear miraculous.  I don't however, believe in any formalized religion- no Jesus, no saints, no mystics, just nature, amazing, beautiful, miraculous, and yes, divine.

And, as is nature's way, when I die, my body will decompose, provide nutrients to the earth and the living creatures- grass, soil, worms.  The worm may go on to feed a bird, who goes on to feed a fox, which gives birth to a kit, etc etc.  It's all part of a system.

I don't begrudge anybody their beliefs, but I find plenty of people who begrudge me for mine, and for raising non-religious children.[/quote]
