re: #380 Bobblehead

How do we know His goal? Everything is a mystery. What is this thing we call the universe? Where is it? So many questions. So few answers. I took an elementary astronomy course in college hoping to gain some insight on these “deep” questions. Not surprisingly many of my classmates were there for the same reason. Much to our disappointment the professor did not have the answers either. As a matter of fact, he had the same questions. So you either have faith that there is a plan and a purpose or you don’t.

Or deny there is the possibility of a plan…

Science is science — I respect it. My father, a devoutly Catholic chemist, respects it and understands it far better than the vast majority of us. Science demands (unapologetically) that we only believe/trust that which is observable. No argument there.

That doesn’t preclude asking about the possibility of that which is beyond our knowledge/abilities, including from where we came.

So, science is science and should be taught as such (that which is observable). Science has its method.

Philosophical and religious questions are either matters of faith or question and should be treated as such. There is no method, which is the essence of faith.
