Last night during the ten hour bus ride back to Vientiane from Laungprabang I met a really cool French dude called Mehdi. We got to talking about politics, religion and the future for mankind......yeap it was well overdue for one of those discussions. Whilst discussing religion we came to this conclusion:
Religion is the "truth", whereas science is discovering the "truth".
This is why some religious people cannot admit that there are mistakes and contradictions in their religion because how can their religion which is the "truth" have errors in it.
Science on the otherhand doesn't know the "truth" so it is continually evolving to accept knew theories in order to expand and explain the forever changing world and it's beginnings.
This is why I personally enjoy science as opposed to religion.
Whilst on the subject I also came to the conclusion that maybe "GOD" is not a superior figure or force but instead the simplest thing in the universe. If you take the theory of evolution, life progressively gets simpler as we proceed back to the beginning......would this rule not also apply to the beginning of the universe? So indeed we have been searching for something "bigger and more powerful" than us but really maybe the answer is much more simpler than expected.
Think about this and I'd love to hear your comments, afterall you learn by communicating with one another! Philospher Mattie B signing out.

I think that "God" is bigger than religion. Some people feel the need to defend their religion when faced with possible contradictions within in. Surely if God is all we imply by the title, he can defend himself? Also if the universe WAS created, that leaves us with a God who cannot be defined or explained, whose creativity and resources are limitless. Beginning a journey of exploring and knowing a God like that makes religion null and void.
Cheers for your comment Erica!! Appreciate it.
