"I just can't comprehend that the laws of physics and chemistry think by themselves" Everything that exists is not static, but energy. That energy is CONSCIOUS. The so-called laws of physics and chemistry are human observations of the PATTERN of the activities of both energy and consciousness in one of its realms, "physicality". God is both energy and consciousness.God didn't make all this. But everything is MADE out of God. The ancient cliche is that we are "atoms in the body of God" Check it out for yourself. Namaste! Jim

Epstein....... >>Well you do seem to believe that the whole universe was created by some entity that knew what it was doing and for whom. And you do believe that you love this entity as one can loves his mother. Which is fine with me. I just can't comprehend that the laws of physics and chemistry think by themselves, for my own profit and well being too, and that they read my post, or decrypt (yes decrypt) your prayers.>> If you even begin to believe one tiny, tiny, tiny bit that the God who created this universe actually has a direct personal and loving interest in each ONE (1) of us then this belief - otherwise known as "faith" - will open the door to this house of disbelief which has a "GO AWAY" sign and mat on and under the front door. Our one Lord God in heaven never stops loving each ONE (1) of us. Whether we believe or not, he still loves each one of us in the same way with no preferences or conditions that we place or claim that divide and separate us from each other. We are the ones that create the conditions, rules and preferences that divide and close the doors on freely receiving and sharing his love for us with others. You don't need to "comprehend" this from a conditional claim-control perspective. For this understanding is spiritual. It does not even originate from us. For all things related to spiritual truth - which is true intelligence - comes from our Lord. Our temporal understanding is conditional - ie. natural. It's impossible to "receive and understand" things which are spiritual with our "natural" understanding. Not understanding - ie. realizing - this is where the core seed of frustration and separation from our divine spiritual nature originated. For when we ever seek to claim control over something - which is how our "natural" egoic understanding operates - we cut ourselves off from true spiritual understanding. For we cannot claim control over things spiritual like energy, light and love. Why? Because IT DOESN'T COME FROM US!! To "understand" is to "be" - ie. to freely receive and share this energy and love with others as freely and as spiritually and as flowingly as we received it from our Lord God in heaven. So when we realize that our natural understanding is NOT the source of true spiritual intelligence, we can give up all this "getting upset and frustrated" over NOT understanding anything and everything. I don't understand a lot of things! But this shouldn't give me reason/cause to get upset and NOT believe in others or any of our creator's wonderful creation which was designed for us to freely receive, share, enjoy and celebrate with others. For we don't "create" ANYTHING!! All we can do is either freely receive and share - or receive and conditionally NOT share -what our Father in heaven is giving to us unconditionally. So this tiny seed of "faith" - ie. belief - is what opens the door to all true intelligence and understanding which is spiritual - NOT conditional-natural - in nature. You already know these things in your heart and soul Epstein. You don't need me or others to understand this. For our Lord's love is there for you to receive and share and celebrate! His love is the essence of LIFE!! 119293!!
