I happen to have a rich belief system, or faith, call it what you want, and it happens to give room to science as well. I believe that there is a spiritual level to life : that we have "souls" and relate to each other and the world in "invisible" ways - I believe in a partial destiny, or at least some general "direction" - call that causality. But ONE thing can break the chain of causality : conscious choice. I believe many phenomenons are out of our perception - and that these limits certainly hide whole new sciences and perceptions of the world(s). I don't believe in a "God" as a ruling figure sitting on a throne and dictating moral dogma. I believe morality is a human invention. I believe reality serves a purpose : that it serves the purpose of.. transcending itself. The universe is meant to die someday. But there is something, inside of it, that changes it's nature willingly, day after day : something that "troubles" the continuity of reality - the causality chain. Life, and especially, conscious life. I believe the purpose of life is to further "win" the universe's death and "seed" something else, ultimately. With these in mind, I can use the best of Plato and Greek philosophy, buddhism, not fully reject monotheism or God centered religions - I just think they want to attach a face to something faceless and it bothers me. But I end up respecting life as my #1 value AND accepting Darwinism, Mechanics, Quantum Physics, as PARTS of a picture too big for me. Might as well enjoy it in respect of all actors of this belief system. Including the sun : I have really neat sunglasses, but it still seems to be there.
