I'm a believer and I've learned so much from Carl Sagan and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

I'm especially gratified and proud that a Black scientist hosts the show.

As Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I've got to say about that."

I have Sagan's Cosmos DVD series. "We are made of star stuff."

I feel sad that the Library at Alexandria was destroyed. I would have loved to have seen that.

Edited to Add: I loved learning about how, through a fairly simple method, it was determined that the Earth was not flat but curved.

Cosmos is brilliant and moving and awe inspiring.

The fact that we tiny, insignificant humans, living on a tiny blue planet on the outer edge of a ho-hum galaxy, can somehow make sense of, and in some way comprehend, the majesty of the universe, is profoundly compelling.

Spiritual even.

Psalm 8 popped right into my mind.

In My opinion Jesus gave us the beginning to searching for scientific truth!

So so wrong! Jesus stuff gave us the Middle Ages.

If I was on a mission to believe in God the bible and science,

I would think sciences observation of an old earth and universe could be explained

as God creating things with apparent age. Adam wasnt created as a baby, he was created as a

adult man. God could have done the same with the universe he could have made it 6,000 years ago

to look 6 million years old. God could have done the same thing with evolution and making life forms.

So, If I or someone wants to believe in God there is always a way. Just like if someone doesn't want to

believe in God there is always a way.

I'm pretty sure everyone here will be dead in the next 100 years anyway.

Then it's either eternal sleep and nothingness or off to the next adventure

I wrote this with paragraphs, it comes out without paragraphs.

I then wrote it in word and copied and pasted and still no paragraphs.

Good point JB. I dont care if someone believes...if it makes them a better person thats cool. Im still open to God but to say hes just loving and blah blah is just untrue...I dont mind going to church, i enjoy friendships and good people..

Personally I dont think believing ever made me a better person.

It just helped me to cope and make sense of a world that made no sense.

It helped me rest and reset my mind to make it to the next day, the next week, the next year.

Then it seems to me how much one believes and how much energy they put in there belief

can either make them a better or a worse person.

Believers have done good things and believers have done bad things.

But if you read the bible cover to cover and view the old testament as pointing to Jesus.

So you live more in line with the new testament then the old testament.

And the main instruction of the new testament is to help widows and orphans.

If your main purpose in life is to help widows and orphans , society will probaly

consider you a good person.

James 1:27

New International Version (NIV)

27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
