Gee, i can't believe!!!
Something that make sense.
Only one thing.
When you say........SCIENCE....... you intend physical science so write physical science.
There are people like me that believe in other types of science as well.

Quote:If we discovered a god who DID abide by natural laws, which we could then study, then it wouldn't be a god, because it would be bound by natural law and would not be supernatural. A god subject to gravity or entropy would be a disappointing god.
I am afraid that you create a dogma in your mind when you come to believe that if God incarnate he would only abide by natural laws.

Not true.
In NDE's the consciousness take over and the brain is not required anymore.
The brain is not dead but is also not working so who else is experiencing that reality?

Life in the forum is about arguing until you can prove your case.
If you have nothing to convince the other party too bad.
Very often the problem arise when people lock themselves in the corral of dogma like believing that through physical science they can understand everything.
Quote:I have tried to read the Aquarian Gospel. As a work of fiction, it wasn't awful. However, I'm an historian by education, and the errors in the book and the explanations for them left me unconvinced.
What make me believe that this Gospel speak the truth is that everything goes hand in hand with the teaching of Shiva, Krisna e Buddha.
