Caption: it's easier for me to believe that all of this came from someone doin something, than it is for me to believe that all of this came from no one doin nothing.

Caption: I couldn't agree more. I think science has shown we are but very small bits on the grand scale of things. So finding perspective is very difficult. We are, with out collection of atoms, energies and empty space..just microcasms of the stars and planetary systems we view through the microscope. Perhaps all of humanity...our whole supercluster...is just one atom.....in the billions of trillions of other atoms that make up God. This is in no way super natural...we are just a very, very small part of the whole...and our perspective on this is impossible to fully comprehend.

Caption: God, the source of all consciousness is supernatural and is not about to come down to the low natural level of Richard Dawkins just to satisfy his human ego which is not of God so Richard will continue his life in darkness until it eventually destroys him. God is in the world but not of it, that is not natural but supernatural to the scientists who deny truth and are not capable of knowing God who is the source of all life including theirs. Richards conscious awareness is in the world but not of it, no material scientist will ever be able to prove conscious awareness is from matter. Supernatural or not Richard Dawkins must surely live in the dark world of no hope truth deniers.

Caption: Science assumes that the supernatural must not exist, otherwise the natural laws that science seeks to discover would not allow development of dependable models for simulating the natural world. For example, hurricane path prediction is based on natural laws that we know are more reliable than praying to a god to seek a vision of where the eye will make landfall. If a scientist accepts that a supernatural god exists, then they must also accept that supernatural events could arise anywhere and at anytime to completely invalidate the expected consequences of natural laws. For example, this means that atomic bombs could go off or that airplanes could fall from the sky in totally unpredictable ways.

Caption: Science and its methodology has been more successful than any religion at uncovering the true nature of our universe and our place in it. I think it should be the foundation on which our spiritual development should reside. My hope is someday the mythology that is the underpinning of the worlds major religions will be recognized by the fervent believers for what it is and will be appreciated in that spirit.

Caption: Science and religion are not required to be mutually exclusive. Science is an investigation into how things work and happen in the real physical universe. Religion according to Priya Hemenway, is an inquiry into the nature and purpose of human existence.
