Religion

I think whether we were colonists who had some higher thought processes and had a bad experience with local flora or were created by some entity that there was an experiment of sorts to see how free will would be played out.

I think we had more understanding before the event and possibly a way different brain structure where the left and right hemispheres in the brain were more able to assess situations in a complimentary manner. Taking facts and intuitive reasoning together which is where much of our learning has evolved to enhance. We aren't content with simple creativity, full intuitive that doesn't have some of the logic and structure that is truth. We want both.

I do believe in God, but I don't know how all the details work out. Got a wait and see attitude. Science is something I rely on and yet, especially at the quantum level, I think it's safe to say there is a possibility of there being more to life than just what we already know. Some of that can include a being of light and energy and creativity that can be in touch with the living beings it "breathed life into" at some point.

I'm still inclined to live responsibly and not ignore global warming. I don't want "creationism" taught in school, because I think faith is for people who believe and belongs in Church. I think theoretical science will someday find the evidence of God and we'll all go, "OH, so that's how it works." But until then, it's just another theory, not hard science and I don't expect others to spend their time refuting an unproved theory.

As a Christian, my goal is to keep my own self in line with my beliefs and not force them on others. I hope I can be a good example and a good neighbor to others.
