You believe that the universe is eternal. You have no proof, but it seems to you most likely, and that has given rise to your faith that it is true. Though you did not mention it, you probably also believe that intelligent life developed naturally from processes inherent in the universe. To not believe these things is to consider the possibility of God.
I do not hold a belief in the eternalness of the universe. I can accept it as having started at some point in time or as having been placed in eternity by God. In either case, it is God, operating on a level beyond my comprehension, in whom I believe. I donât know much about God, but I have more freedom to think about the universe and consciousness, and about my part in all this, by accepting Godâs existence, than I do by rejecting Him. That is why I said that my faith is less than yours.
The only ones without faith are agnostics. I used to be one. Youâll see from my early comments on poemranker that Iâm on a journey. To where, I donât know.
