Description
How should we deal with the dilemma of one of the smartest people on the planet who finds no room for ‘God’?
I’m not a fan of religion, though I appreciate that some people, a lot of people perhaps, can be devout and sincere, and be very nice people.
My position is that they could be very nice people without being devout. Whether we want them to be sincere or not is really a matter of taste.
I am a fan of science, but I recognise its limitations.
It focuses on what it can rationally explain, consistent with its experience, which experience is limited to physical phenomena.
As humans, scientists can explore beyond those boundaries. Many choose not to.
Religion may be an antiquated model of social control that is redundant in the modern age. What lies behind religion is neither antiquated nor a myth.
We set out a brief guided tour of a land accessible to everyone, but not obvious to everyone.
