I believe in God but probably not the way I am "supposed" to or in the traditional sense. Hell, there are scientists that believe there is a higher power.

This is really good, Mark!. Keep /'/em coming.

I want to comment more than I am or will here. All I will say is that I am proud of you for addressing these issues. I see much confusion, and would compare you to the little boy that comes to the gates of a monastery with a head full of a million thoughts, all undistilled, but seeking answers. Continue, Mark.....continue.

of all the things you cannot know,
God would be big.
God is beyond, perhaps also hidden within.
Is God the Sun, and all elements that make
up the Earth and stars which seem limitless?
If there is no God, would all be lost, not
worth the life any life?
Life itself and the environment that supports it is surely not human made.
Some claim that God has spoken to them personally.
Many have in their own hearts prayed or tried to
Speak to God, if for nothing else, to ask for calm.
A definition might be that of empathy, a comparative
contemplation with what one might consider to be a soul. But the soul, what is it, if it has not traversed
down a long pathway that included change
or reflection, or even doubt?

Kierkegaard on the question of God stated;
"I reason from existence, not towards existence."
John Locke/'/s proof was something like, I exist, something made me...
While David Hume contends that there must be empirical proof. Instead of relying on design,
Hume scrutinizes what things are all about. In this he suggests there is no need for God, the Earth and all it entails is finite, and imperfect.
One can easily see this through the study of human history, or the study of what came before, or perhaps an archaeological dig, a dinosaur bone.

Perhaps like the Buddhists suggest, nothing is fixed or permanent, and change is always possible. Gog is a concept like many things are concepts, that lead nowhere in themselves.

To me, it/'/s amazing, just to be alive and see the stars
on a clear night. If there is a God, it is Love, by definition, an empathy for others kind of love.
It doesn/'/t solve any mystery, however it can
create more in a positive sense.

Peace!
