Not the original interpretation of the Uncertainty Principle, no; however, I was referring to it from the perspective of Everett's many-worlds interpretation of wave-particle duality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty...e_in_a_box.

Bit confused as to why you would reject atheism on the basis that science hasn't answered every question imaginable yet, "Logic" would dictate the answer is "I don't know" not "Praise Jesus!"

Something may appear preferable to you, which does not equate to a statement of truth, but I suspect comfort is more important to you at the moment than truth.

As long as you don't use your belief to discriminate or hurt others, not sure why anyone cares.

Nothing to do with coping mechanisms. I have family, friends, medication and NHS psychiatric and psychological support for this. It's much more to do with making sense of the world and what I see around me.

I do not reject atheism; I see it as one way of looking at things. It is blatantly obvious to me that there is not one single universal truth that applies to everybody. For me, at present, Christianity makes more sense of the world than any other perceptual framework. Maybe I will change my position in the future, but at present, this is what makes the most sense to me. Furthermore, Christianity clearly has the power to transform the lives of people for the better. Therefore, one must make a decision and decide if real subjective experience from an existential perspective is more important than relying on conceptual/empirical observations of reality (which I find with pure science/atheism), and I believe it is.

I have come to the conclusion that unconditional love is the key to everything. Explaining emotions by immensely complex neural biochemical reactions in the brain does not even come close to the profound subjective experience of such. For certain things in life, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
