Our thoughts work to create a personal reflection of the world around us - creating for us our REALITY.
Just as a picture of a scene is NOT the scene, but only a reflection.
Just as mathematics is the language of physics and physics is only our descriptor of the matter and forces, it is only man's reflection or the image we create of the physical world around us.
Are we looking at the BIG QUESTIONS ? Are we Eternal Being? Is there a God?
Stepping back... Look at Man's Quest over Centuries and Millenia
Both Science and Religion work to explain our existence. Modern Science is measurement based - based on what can be directly observed in prescribed way with ever more sophisticated instrumentation.
Religion - a means to connect with and interpret the unmeasurable world
Observation based, but personal/individual, Strong operational guidance, and not easy to establish universal descriptors at the lowest level that it connects to the individual.
Is there an Ascent of Religion? How is this defined? Are changes merely procedural or fundamental?
