Let me say this. You will find that Islam, Hebrew, Christian, pre-dynastic Eqyptian, Sumerian and countless other religious texts have a hauntingly
similar story. Some of the characters are different but they contain common themes and events such as the great flood. Events that can and have been
proven by archaeologists and other sciences. Remember that everything we thought we knew 50 years ago has been proven wrong or placed in another
context. One of the conclusions you may draw from these texts is that god is an extra-demensional being. They also contain stories of a "destroyer"
or wormwood star. Have you considered that these are historical texts and that the cultures, having in most cases little or no contact with each other
and existing at different points in time, have very similar stories? Perhaps god sent different conveyers of his message at different times to
different cultures, or perhaps not. But pay attention to these texts, particularly the Bible. One of the things we take from our limited knowlege of
science is that there are other dimensions, and I see this as proof of God's existence, although prior to this knowlege I believed as well. God asks
us to have faith, as he knew that as humans we have limited ability to understand the true nature of things. I think you should take his word for
it.
There are those in the religious community who see science as a threat to religion. As a christian, I see just the opposite. Science has confirmed the
existence of god. One of the most compelling things to me are the stories of near death experiences. Most report a similar story, pulled into the
light and witnessing all that ever was and will be in one place. This, to me, represents going into another dimension and stepping out of time, where
we can see that the young us and the older us and all versions inbetween exist simultaneaosly across the dimension of time. It's compelling. Take take
God at his word and listen to the advice Jesus gave us.
