There are scientist/astronomers that maybe study the stars and find a deep sense god... and there are those that are scientists of "holy books" and scripture and may find him in that way. Each path may be one filled with wonder,challenges & trials , with deepening faith & understanding coming in the end. **perhaps that is one of the keys to understanding the concept of Eternity, and the infinite, one of the hallmarks of God.... just to see that there possibly are an infinite number of unique and different paths, that each of us can take .....to practice the reverence, become stronger, and grow more in consistancy, that leads us on the way towards the "holy". There is certainly much more to life than just wealth, prosperity, ever increasing science and technology... Your pointing out your need for "faith" to me is just as inspiring and moving here.... as it is to see & hear that scientist/astronomer say he is deeply moved into believing in God, when he sees a universe born only once, in an instant out of nothing..... and now is expanding on into an Eternity... Could it be just as possible to "worship" celebrate with rapture in an astronmy Observatory...as it is in a cathedral? Or to worship and celebrate as a musician part of an orchestra? Is it more holy to be in a church than to be standing in the middle of Yosemite, peering up at Half~Dome in the moonlight....as the falling stars streak the sky? I wonder if the temple for Jesus , was any different....with it's roof of stars, in the desert hanging over a world of suffering, which his compassion and love embraced and made whole. Would you have called John Muir , a "religious man" ? An Einstein or a Gandhi, a Walt Whitman, or Kahlil Gibran? A chief Joseph of the Nezperce? (why have I left the great woman out ?) Even if they chose to call the "god of Abraham" by a different name? Is it the greatest wonder of it all, right here on earth, this "other" expression of the infinite, which lifts up our heads in awe...to see the Endless variety in each one of us , to worship God in his many forms, each unto each and in his own way? That this is a form of the eternal here on the earth? With faith, we all have a long way to grow.... Remember the Navajo Chant: "all are on the pollen path".... Hey , help me out here though please, haqihana ....was this a passage from Isiah, the old testament prophet?-------> Message 13342764 Hard to deny the passion and rapture in that man's visions. I would tend to say it was: "divinely Inspired"! Jesus=Lord! ;-) mars
