If you try and observe and learn the teachings in the christian Bible, you will realize that there are some verses that are somehow linked to scientific discoveries.

It would be interesting to see some definitive proof that there are physical links to god and man that can be tracked. Do you ever think a professor will prove the existence of a higher power?

My god is in my heart not in my braid ..............

Very interesting. I haven't particularly been religious the past 6 years or so in my life but twice now I've had an out of body experience that is very intense, its unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

I'd like to think that there is a God, or a higher being, I just don't like organized religion. I don't think it's possible for there to be such a massive universe and for there not to be something/one out there watching us.

So would love to see scientific proof- I'm a huge science lover too. You can see how that can at times cause conflict.

yes I agree with you there is no god I think. we should just need to follow our heart

Our life is still going on no matter the God exist or not. So in fact , I don't care about this problem because it doesn't change the reality of our life.

The understanding of the ways a higher power envolves with you life - can lead your into higher stage of life experience. I was an unbeliever until God reveled his ways to my life.
