I have converted to Christianity

Yeah you're right. It states that one cannot know the precise location of a particle nor can you know the precise energy of it.

My belief in Christianity is extremely complex. Firstly, to all those discourteous, ignorant fools who have replied, I would like to inform you that I have evaluated this many, MANY times over and have come to the conclusion that Christianity offers me a deeper and more profound way of looking at things. Science and atheism are inadequate at accounting for the ineffable phenomenon of human subjective consciousness (apart from the study of neural correlates of consciousness in cognitive neuroscience), nor does it account for subjective emotional wisdom and altruism in human beings. Christ's message concerning unconditional love has had a profound impact on me.

I am not a biblical literalist, nor do I believe that Christianity is the ONLY truth. I believe relativism (in philosophy) is the ultimate perception framework that encapsulates all possible belief systems. For some of you God absolutely does not exist, for others among you God obviously does exist (in various forms). Therefore, from this perspective, God exists and does not exist at the same time. Extremely counter intuitive ideas like this are also present in the quantum universe, in which, according to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, an indivisible subatomic particle, such as a photon or electron, can exist and not exist at the same time in certain instances.

I do not believe that Christianity is more true than Atheism or Islam; however, it feels right and true to me.

That's a really interesting way of seeing things, and something I tried to do initially when I deconverted. That is, to see any given religion as nothing more than a philosophy of life. Is this where you stand? Or do you believe the literal promises of either heaven or hell?
