In reply to: krz 's message, "Re: my idea for Bumper Sticker to please all: "GOD EVOLVED"" on 11/13/04 7:20:25pm

while science is not devoid of christian thinkers, mysticism is not proven with critical thinking. for me, the gift of christianity [and most religions i think] is perspective of the thinking mind on Love and Suffering and Compassion :: abstractions that are not readily captured and quantified in a lab. they are not theories, but rather absolute truths that are beyond the earthly grasp of man and are in the realm of the Divine. they can be experienced but not understood by the rational mind.

the Divine can manifest in earthly ways such as Forgiveness of Sin, the birth of a child, sexual intimacy but the Poetry of the conceptual Lord Almighty defies even Einstein's ability to frame with equations.

and there is no need to explain.

this is a subject that belongs in all schools under the proper curriculum along with the story of the Buddha and the Four Noble Truths and the Eight Fold Path and the Sutras. it's just not science, in my opinion.
