> > bbella: I for one am very thankful for the continuing information and discussion on this website. I rarely fail to read them daily. I often find a thought to add here and there but I am finding it hard to form a thought these days when it comes to the abstract. And in some sense...isn't this all about the abstract?

> I'm delighted with your continuing interest. I'm still searching for meaning in why we are here. -The question "why" always demands an answer. So I try very hard not to allow that question anywhere near my mind! ->It is abstract and there never will be definite proof. But it is very significant that from an inorganic universe sentient folks have arrived [.]-"Sentient folks" and inorganic material may have always been. Maybe we sentient folks "just arrived" here, in this part of the universe.->But it is very significant that from an inorganic universe sentient folks have arrived who can decode the workings of their universe, using abstract advanced theoretical math. -We are young in knowledge as a species. It takes a while for new life to catch up. I am talking along the lines of Rupert Sheldrakes Morphic Field or the Holographic Field. Lets say the answer to any of our questions are all "within us" (cells/DNA/etc) since all of our cells are witness to what is. It may just take time for the info to filter up into our conscious minds. Would we even recognize it if it did? So, we take baby steps.->For me as science continues to show how complex living matter has to be to create conscious humans, that complexity is a very strong inference for God. The complexity defies a chance cause.-I am thankful my mind doesn't work that way. It's like your mind is in two boxes; one inside the other. Science is the inner box and God is the outer box. It doesn't sound that much different than religion - to me. I understand what you are saying but I can't see how what you are saying can ever lead out of the boxes.-[edit: excuse my bluntness. Is why I try not to write on the fly!]
