[quote=Anonymous]PP Catholic here.  Yes, I do believe.  My whole family has been trained in science and a couple are science teachers.  We believe in evolution, scientific method, repeatability of experiments, modern medicine.  However, some things are not explanable.  Spiritual practice and religious experience with scientific work are not separate, but part of life.  I was raised Catholic, but I was never pressured to stay Catholic.

I believe in God and I do not think this is coming from a bunch of endorphins in my brain.  There are things that have confirmed a divine presence in my life during my entire lifetime.  And yes, I have had doubts and questions.  And no, I don't think asking Jesus to help me get a strike when I go bowling is how it operates. It often comes down to two prayers:  'how you want me to approach this' and 'Thy will be done.'

I met Mother Teresa many years ago and she had an amazing aura about her that was beyond human. But she is not the only one. There are holy special people among us and if you think about it, you've met them.  That is what saints are:  not perfect, but special human beings. [/quote]
