I can't really give you a rational explanation for faith. I can tell you that I believe that the myths and legends of the world all have a grain of truth in them, simply because I can't comprehend a world that wouldn't have them. It would just make the world so..... mundane. I can't stand the mundane, so I choose to believe in things that by all rights, don't exist, But I choose to have faith that they do. (This applies to God too btw.)

Edited by Ric_Adbur: 4/14/2013 4:42:58 AMYour body is as old as the universe. The form is new, but the materials are 13.8 billion years old; processed through the nuclear furnaces of long-dead stars, scattered across the cosmos in unimaginably cataclysmic explosions, and eventually, coalesced into a planet that, through billions of years of natural selection, created you. Given enough time, hydrogen begins to wonder where it came from and where it's going. There is absolutely nothing "mundane" about any of that.

Well, sure, it's not mundane if you use fancy words.

Fancy words are not needed to acknowledge the spectacular nature of a supernova.

I hate to break it to you, but that sounds very childish. Almost like a child who wishes his favorite super hero was real. I don't understand how people can think the world is boring or mundane without religion. The world is [i]beautiful[/i].
