By the way, I really do appreciate your comments. I find them very insightful and poignant. And the name....GO ROCKY!
Thank you.
An evidence-based worldview is the only sensible option. It also opens up a whole universe full of mystery, wonder and awe.
Just leaving the cult will open up the whole universe full of mystery, wonder and awe. For a lot of us, viewing the vast complexity of our material universe, human beings, animals, plant life is evidence that there is much more to the story of existence than meets the eyes.
Last April, one of my grandson's 19 year old friends took his own life. Part of his suicide had to do with taking too much insulin. I was doing research about how insulin overdoses bring death. I came across a writing by By Dr. Howard Glicksman called Death by Insulin: How Sweet it Isn't!! http://www.arn.org/docs/glicksman/eyw_060601.htm
Our body's system to metabolize sugar and keep us living is vastly more complex than most people know. I recommend reading the series of articles that Dr. Glicksman has written called: Exercise Your Wonder. They are easy to read for the non medical doctor and will leave you in awe when you begin to understand how NOT simple, just the human body is. When you look at how complex and vital sugar metabolism is--your brain dies without sugar very quickly-- it will awe you. He has written numerous articles about our body systems and functions. You'll understand that there is plenty of evidence of design to our human body. What you do with the evidence will be very personal to you.
