The age of enlightenment in western cultures raised up science as its ultimate tool for understanding the way the universe works and the detailed blueprints for life itself. The questions mankind had always posed since the times of prehistory, of "how" this happens and "why" became the province of science, and of deductive thought and logic. Religion, rising from the early beliefs in the supernatural, the origins of time and the universe, and of mankind, and of all the other forms of life on earth, included pantheons of gods, or a single all powerful, all knowing God, the existence of many cycles of life, ending in a heaven, or the loss of desire, knowable not through reasoning, but instead through faith. Many have attempted to rejoin these two paths, to combine them into a coherent, consistent framework. That discussion continues with both reason and faith joining together to provide a basis for understanding our experiences as living beings.
This Blog aims to encourage that discussion with all of the diversity of our individual thoughts, civil powers of persuasion, and consideration for the thoughts of the others to whom we correspond in our efforts to reach a more complete understanding of our lives together on this earth, and possibly in our universe.
