[QUOTE=Lychee;67963]If you mean that "paranormal activity" has a scientific explanation of it, that may be true. But the explanation presented by science is not complete and sometimes only elucidates the mechanism by which the event occurred and not the true meaning of the event itself.
Let's take the Virgin Mary. Her conception was a miracle because she was obviously a virgin and logic states that that cannot be possible because fertilization of an egg requires a sperm, thus requiring sex. The fact that she did not have any intimate relations with a man and yet became pregnant is a miracle. Can that miracle can be explained by science? Maybe it can, maybe it cannot. If our limited knowledge of science cannot explain something by logic and reason, that does not mean that the credibility of the event is diminished. It only shows that humans are finite and do not have all knowledge. Just Because it provides the most contentment, suits your fantasy.
I think modern understanding of physics and the understanding of how consciousness works, the ego, the search for contentment is enough for me to draw a conclusion on how the universe operates.
Isnt it interesting that the more we have evolved in intelligence the more everything points to science?
That's right I have consiously not chosen a belief system to "maximise my contentment level" If you knew how understood how belief worked you probably wouldnt be a slave to it.
Why dont you analyse things from a scientific stand point? See why you desire there to be a heaven, or God. It provides you with security, hope, love....All thoughts that ultimately create sensations in the brain that provide you contentment. It comes down to a physical level. An ego that needs to be satisified, What is life without contentment?
You care more about whether someone in your family dies then some starving kid in africa because you are more attached to your family member. That family member provides you more contentment(physical reaction in the brain) then some kid in africa.
