[QUOTE="saralynn, post: 58235986, member: 290188"] [I]You finished by suggesting that I believe in my own resurrection. That is one thing I cannot do, because life after death is simply of no interest to me. [/I] I feel exactly the same as you do. My focus has never been on life after death, unless it is in some form form in which my separate sense of ego disappears and the best within me merges with something greater than myself. My reference to your own resurrection was not meant to be interpreted literally, but, was used to describe a sense of renewel that may evolve in time. Luck always plays a role when we recommend books that have inspired us, but the often turn out to be duds for the recipient. Each of us is so unique that it's a guessing game to find a book that will resonate with someone else. I just threw out a lot of suggestions to emphasize that there are other options to investigate in additon to the traditional ones which we usually rely upon? Did you try Andrew Harvey? He's my favorite Christian, as well as Polkinghorne. I am an avid reader of science, although the material has to be dumbed down for me because I'm an amateur. I have little patience with people who don't believe in evolution, but, I also get exasperated by atheists who are strict materialists. At best, scientists have probably only investigated less that 5% of the cosmos, so how do they know if what is true here is the same beyond our telescopic horizons? Plus, you add in extra dimensions, quantum bizarreness and black matter, all of which are as difficult to imagine as God is, how can anyone insist that there may not be a spiritual dimension as well? Sheer arrogance! Would like to add a few more observations, but, no time today. Hope to catch you later. [/QUOTE]
