I’m a Religious Person
I don’t believe in something that I call God, but I have my beliefs and understandings and comfort that any religion would give.
I have a God, I believe in a self-sufficient chemical/ substance that lives outside of time, space and matter, via chaos theory the big bang occurred. My mother likes to call it God, I mean, she’s not wrong, it may as well for all my brain can comprehend be God. But that in essence is how I believe everything to have begun, the universe eventually resets itself when every piece of matter is absorbed into a large black hole and the universe collapses upon itself creating another big bang, i.e the self-sufficent chemical only needed to create the universe once for it in itself to be self-sufficent, which would completely be plausible by chaos theory.
I have my own beliefs of death, how our atoms eventually displace and move on to other things, I believe in quantum immortality (the theory that we die off in other people’s time lines but within our own conciousness we continue to live forever). I mean it fits, atoms replace themselves, like skin regenerating, that in fact is on a larger scale atoms replacing themselves.
I find comfort in these ideas much like religious people find comfort in their own ideas. Everyone is religious, whether they like to believe it or not, religion was concocted I believe to deal with the facts of death and suffering, my religion while not accepted by the mainstream also gives comfort to these things. I guess I really worship science.
Religion is also there to explain things we can’t, but science also has a logical explanation for this. God is the answer to everything we can’t answer in religion but, my answer is just as simple. Chimpanzee’s can’t understand trigonometry, that is a fact. Their brains are not developed enough to grasp the ideas, now what’s to say that the same thing can’t be applied to us? That the reason we can’t figure out dark matter is because our brains aren’t developed enough to fully grasp it? Science’s explanation in place of God for things we cannot explain is, we cannot understand the full extent of the universe because we merely can’t comprehend it all yet, we will continue to run experiments and challenge our minds and someday in distant future maybe we will understand the universe in full.
Sorry for the completely babble of thoughts, but I really wanted to get that out and had no thought of how to fully explain it. But yes, in a way, I worship science and everyone regardless of whether they like to admit it or not is a religious person, because religion is just finding comfort in life and everyone finds comfort in life somehow.
