@stephen50right@Quix Quix, if you do not have the book, "Counting to God", published 2014, author Douglas Ell, I will buy it and have it sent to you. Ell is a scientist.
Both you and Stephen need this book, and here is why (bold is mine):
"Counting to God":
Chapter 1: "Let me ask you a question: Do you think we live in a meaningless universe, and human beings were created by accident? Or do you think we live in a universe designed and created by a great intelligence, and human being were designed? Accident or design - that is the question."
"I think it's a 'great question.' I think it's
the great question. It is about the existence of God."
"In this book, I'll share new clues. They come not from traditional religion or some televangelist, not from a new prophet or miracle, and certainly not from the government or our mass media. They come from an unexpected source, perhaps the last place you might expect, a place you might think is far from questions of faith. They come from science."
"After thirty years of thinking, after thirty years of studying philosophy, particle physics, cosmology, evolution, molecular biology, planetary formation, quantum physics, and more, I've learned that modern science is consistent with the Bible, with the three faiths of Abraham - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. As strange as it may sound, science and mathematics are now the foundation of my faith."
A statement from Professor Peter Fisher, Head of the Department of Physics, MIT:
"I highly recommend this thoughtful exploration of the relation between science and spirituality, two seemingly opposed descriptions of our world. Posed as a personal journey, Doug asks, 'How can we relate the descriptions of the spiritual and physical world?' Doug takes on the biggest questions of our time: cosmology, the origin of the universe, and the biochemistry of genetics in a relevant and accessible way."
It takes intelligence to understand the scientific technical aspects of this book upon which it is based throughout the book. It is not a hasty read and many would put it down due to the technical science, but that is its strength - scientific truths about the universe and DNA/other new science pertaining to the scientific creation of a body.
There is no way to fully describe this book due to the intense science in it. Once you read it, you will likely read parts or all of it again. You will always know where this book is in your house because you will likely pick it up again and again to reread parts.
Quix, let me know if you don't have this book. I have to get ready now to go to a casino today, so if you write more on this thread, I will read it after I get back this evening. Last week I won $1,278 at a casino. I now have over $4,000 won in the last two months. I did have over $5,000 won, but bought a new computer for $1,100 of that money.
How do I win all this money at casinos? It is a
scientific secret. Actually, it isn't but I do have a method of selecting the right machines to pay off.
