Questions to answer

[abaris]

Well put! I accepted everything for years. It is when I started questioning some of the things you mentioned (and others) that I started to get answers that were not consistent with everything. One thing about science is if it is not consistent, then they try different ways to solve the problem, not say "one day it will all be explained"

I didn't even do that. I was just stuck in my childish fears of going to hell, because that's what the priests of my childhood were very vocal about. And of course they created that image of that giant peeping Tom in the sky.

Come to think of it, if asked these days I would say I had this image in my head of god coding his own game of the Sims and since being an evil old bastard, would crush you when you cross the lines.

I have to say, they did a good job of screwing me up, when I was young. Even now, when I don't understand something about the universe, I have to struggle, not to fall into the god of the gaps trap.
