Religion vs. Science .. will it ever end??!!

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love God.

In fact, I have now decided to state as unshakeable truth that, if religion (of any kind; I make no distinctions here) is the spiritual food and drink that we ingest, then music is the spiritual air that we breathe.
This must be so, because we can survive weeks without food, and days without water; however we cannot survive more than minutes without air.
And only God could have provided us menial Home Sapiens with the inspiration and creativity necessary to create sequences of sound vibrations of varying pitch, amplitude, and spacing, in the innumerable different arrangements that exist today and continue to be created, that bring joy to the over 6 billion people (and increasing) that live (and die) in the present.

But more to the point, it is also pure truth that religion (especially the ancient religions, now called mythology) evolved first and foremost to explain the things we do not understand.
The first religions centered on the sun, the moon, the seasons, etc. - all easily definable and explainable by modern standards, yet beyond the comprehension of our far ancestors.
As we Homo Sapiens have evolved, the discipline of science was created as we began to think more and more logically about the universe around us.
Throughout history, and continuing on to the present (and hopefully, on into the far future) things previously explained away as gods, or signs from the gods, or emissaries from the gods, or acts of the gods, etc. were slowly but surely replaced by true, logical, scientific explanations.
The rising and setting of the sun, first taken as the Sun God riding around the sky in his fiery chariot, was (eventually) discovered to be a ball of hot gas (although it was only after Einstein that we discovered it to be due to nuclear fusion).
The moon thought to be a Moon God, was discovered eventually to be the piece of spherical-ish rock that it is, that reflects light from the sun.
The planets, far away as they are, were taken to be different gods because they moved far differently from the ever-so-distant stars (which the Ancients believed to be stationary .. in fact, that is why planets are called that now. Look up the etymology of the word 'planet').
The oh-so-distant stars were considered representatives of the gods that their pattern composed - from which we get the signs of the Zodiac.

Anyone with a grain of common sense can see, that as time goes on - however fast, however slow - whatever we attribute today to God (or to the paranormal, or anything else not scientifically explained) will, eventually, one day be truly explainable and understandable by anyone, through science.

And yet, didn't I just say I love God? Indeed I did. And I believe that there will always be a place for religion in this world. Because even though science may eventually explain many of the mysteries of this world, there is always likely to be a small part of it that cannot be accounted for, and that small unexamined spot of research may be of equal complexity to the rest. Consider it as though it were a shape known as a fractal; no matter how deep one delves into a fractal shape, it never gets any less complex. Think about it. Or, read what Isaac Asimov said about fractals. If you can find it.

Wow, that was waay more than I expected from myself. =P
Still, it felt good.
I feel so wise. Let's see you convince me otherwise.
XD

Need I Say More?

Thanks to XKCD.

XKCD = 42. The Meaning of Life, The Universe, And Everything!! O_O

Douglas Adams = Awesome.
Check the letters, XKCD. They add up to 42. (-:

It means shuffling quickly past nuns on the street with ketchup in your palms, pretending you're hiding stigmata. ^-^

Did you shoot a man in Reno? Now, I don't mean to pry.^-^

How could you choose avoiding a little pain over understanding a magic lightning machine? ^-^

So, that is an extract from XKCD.
I must say, a really good comic.
Although PHD Comics holds an equal place in my heart. =P

That last one above defines the truth! The Truth, I tell you!

So here I am, taking solace in imaginary scenarios.
I miss sanity. Do you? .......
Was there ever a time before the loneliness? Because it seems that that's the only way of life I can remember ..... :-/

Russell Peters, man, c'mon, talk to me, dude!
I need a job. Any advice, anyone?

Tactlessness.

I'm so Stupid.
I would probably never survive on my own.
Should have confronted that damn homeowner immediately about the money he deducted from my deposit.
Why did I put time with my friends ahead of that?
Why would I do that?? And me, with all my talk of "I got it, mum" .. "Don't worry about it, mum" .. "I'm saving money, mum" .. "I'll take care of it, mum" ... I'm gonna feel that guilty pinch for years to come. (Ow. :-/ )
It's far too late to do anything about it now. It could be construed as a belated attempt to weasel some money out of him .. and I'm sure after taking that money from me he can afford to potentially make it a legal battle of I tried anything [I heard from one of the previous tenants that he'd already been in court for a similar occurrence previously]. Add that to the fact he's an American citizen and I'm an international student. See any inequalities here?
