That said, the only true dark are the lies and deceit given to people, and the only true light is the truth. Light and dark are merely illusions to try and create division and walls which leads to even more wars. If you honestly do not see anything wrong with this picture, i suggest you open your eyes more. Those who seek real truth are open to ALL suggestions even if it questions their beliefs.

Driver, you have summed up many thoughts with one small sentence. A great truth is in what you have writtenedit on 9/1/2011 by TNTarheel because: worn out keyboard

Not a long post but a very interesting one.
Naked...or vulnerable? No need for either feeling...several of us (myself included) shared thoughts and experiences here that we held to ourselves before.
Thank you for trusting us enough to share.

Sorry TallWhiteHuman, but I'm here to derail it again. Feel the need to share. All one and all. The whole concept of this thing has been melding science and philosophy/religion. That sparks a cord with me. I'm a physicist/engineer by trade yet very spiritual in nature. For a long time I kept my two parts separate. Until I was no longer able to do so. Then I sought out ways to converge the two. At first it was easy. I found a book called the Tao of Physics. It related Taoist/Eastern thought to Physics concepts/ideas. I still felt a void. Being a recovering Catholic there was still something missing to me. And then it came to me. If you could sum up Eastern thought in one sentence, I summized that it would be "God is in and of all Things." I then thought of Western thoughts on this . . . "God is in his heaven and all is right with the world." The Bible says the first thing God created was light and it was good. My physics mind thought about light. What is so interesting about light. It exhibits wave particle duality. Depending on how you decide to look at it, it is either a wave or a particle. Much like our dead/alive cat. So I was lead to write a book . . . "The wave particle duality of God". Never did write it though. I don't feel up to the task. I'm also reminded of the nature of an electron. When you get physically close to someone, electrons from you jump to them, and from them to you. You share yourself with them. This is the property that electron microscopes work upon. The interesting thing is that the electron never exists in the space beteween you and the other person and no one knows exactly how the exchange happens. They call it tunnelling. This has lead to the idea that our universe must be made up of more dimensions than we can concieve/experience. Hence string theory. Sorry for the long post. Felt the need to share.
Damn . . . feel all naked now. . .

I understand your exasperation with the post in question, but not all religious ties are . . . gently said . . . without merit. You, yourself, in your sig. mention "not claiming to know".

That's the thing that most people don't get. It's not entirely understood. Most 'scientists' won't present it that way. They posit that we know everything important in their minds . . . that's not the case. No one is willing to say "I don't Know". That's not good for funding. That's what ruins science. Sorry . . . rant . . .
