Tim, you say you are a guy who builds or designs thing for a living I believe. Do you then base your religious beliefs on the disctim that "Somebody had to build this"?

@johnlondon As firstly an engineer and a skeptic, I was curious about why people were religious. I went to churches to find out (My family were all atheists) Then after investigating a bit, my interest morphed to how anyone could believe in the Resurrection, which violates all Earthly physical laws. I investigated by asking and researching. At one point, having read Scripture, known history and theology scholars who studied the Resurrection, I came to an awful moment - a bit like the adrenaline flush that happens when you know you are falling from a height and realize that you are going to be badly hurt, as if I had been suspended by a hot air balloon, and heard myself say "Oh cr*p, that happened!" So the intellectual security of my tether to Earthly logic had been severed. Completely unexpected. Upsetting. In time my panic was replaced by the far greater sense of security that emerged from my understanding of the great gift of life, Salvation and enlightenment in God's creation.
At first I felt I was a fraud in faith. Most others come to it by a "leap of faith," not research.

I felt comfort eventually that the sciences were also under God's pervue. Everything is, including evolution. Some feel they must interpret Scripture to discount the sciences, and I have found the opposite. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Some physicists propose that our reality is but a shell on the "surface" of a greater reality. That mathematically derived possibility bears a spooky resemblance to Creation as described in Scripture. Physicists like Michio Kaku see God in the mass value of particles like the tachyon half spin, and the Higgs Boson. And Heisenberg once said "The universe is not only stranger than we think. It is stranger than we CAN think."
