I'll keep thinking about this one - and the girls are looking forward to the next Brian Cox programme tonight, so I'll see what else he chucks into the mix!<br /><br />:-)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-41929333199493149162011-03-12T12:17:58.316+00:002011-03-12T12:17:58.316+00:00I'm a Christian in the sense that Christ is in...I'm a Christian in the sense that Christ is in my heart, and I attend Sunday worship at the local Church of Scotland. I'm also an astronomer, that is I have a telescope (or three) and have seen most of what is in the sky through one or more of them. The majority of astronomers and cosmologists I have spoken to about religion confess to being atheist or agnostic, but all the Christians I know are in awe of the visible Universe, believing it to be God's handiwork. Those who have looked through my telescopes are even more impressed at the sheer size and scale of it all.<br />My personal view accords with the Ancients' teachings, and Jesus' original "Way" before the early (Pauline) Christian fathers got their male chauvinist/ego-ridden hands on it. We (humanity) are in our hearts divine and the human "shells" we use are simply illusion - our illusion - which God knows nothing of. This seeming world exists entirely in our split-from-God minds, and our task is to remember who we really are, i.e. all One, all part of God's Son and one with Him.<br />When you look at the world -and Jesus' teachings - through that prism, all becomes clear. God doesn't "punish" or need "sacrifice", He simply carries on loving us while we sleep, unaware of our dreams but willing us to wake in His arms.<br />The Big Bang? That was the point at which we first separated from God, and all our "troubles" began! :-)Albedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04093271297403073329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-4454414617904161602011-03-07T19:33:20.594+00:002011-03-07T19:33:20.594+00:00I work on the rule that God knows more than me and...I work on the rule that God knows more than me and any attempt I make to try and understand the universe in relation to God can lead me to limiting God - so I stick to reading history books. I'm confident He'll work it out. That's an easy bit to believe in. Believing that I will ever get to a good place in clutterbusting however...<br /><br />Also, something or some One had to start off the Big Bang.
