"I believe that a simple faith in a higher power is something that everyone believes in, they just define it differently. For atheists, perhaps science, knowledge and the universe are a higher power"
Thats a good point you make but I think you generalize the term higher power. Science in its state of progress today, to use the popular American quote "doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell" compared to the concept of god in all his invincibility and limitless power when it comes to providing personal answers for most people. God can do any thing, even the most bewildering mysteries and toughest trials can be explained. Science's ability pales in comparison...You see what I mean..belief in God as the higher power is far more convenient for most people which makes the choice a no brainer..^_^ |
