<Belief in God has a solid rational, scientific and evidential footing but that does not matter to beings who are blinded by an irrationality that is part of their fallen, evil, nature.> Interesting... same as evolution. <This means that there is at least a possibility to return to our original condition. > "Real people are those whose natures are united with the Tao. {snip} Perfectly clear, utterly plain, and without contrivance, they return to simplicity. Comprehend the fundamental and embracing the spirit, they thus roam on the edge of heaven and earth. Wandering in the vastness beyond mundane clutter, they work freely without making an issue of it. {snip} Real people know without learning, see without looking, achieve without striving, and understand without trying. They sense and respond, act when necessary, and go when there is no choice, like the shining of light, like the emanation of rays. The harmonious joyfulness and peaceful calm of ancient sages were their nature, while their deliberate attainment of practical application of the Tao was their way of life. So it is that nature can act only in life, while life can only be clear when nature is realized. {snip} Lao Tzu {as translated by Thomas Cleary} DAK
