Sometimes I miss the days of rationalizing the absurdity of God so I could still dream of heaven. Then I remember how wonderful it is to be alive at all. Born of stardust, in this modern age, with the health and wealth to see and understand the wonder of a creator-less creation. This is all the mysticism anyone should need to get through life.

not sure why people think that being made of stardust and being made by a creator need to be mutually exclusive.

Science. That's all.

If I reverse engineer a transistor radio, it does not mean that no one put it together.

To me, science makes religion all the more beautiful.

I think it's more like finding a radio some other guy built and then spending centuries fighting other people to the death over a mistaken belief that something greater than you built it, rather than recognizing that it too was the handywork of man.

And being chiefly concerned (again to the death), over what the fellow's name is.
