I have spent many nights awake questioning. Questioning the meaning of life. Questioning God. Questioning science. I have spent hours studying philosophy, religion, and science. All in the hope of finding some definite answers to the questions that at times have driven better men than me to insanity.
I have watched many debates on theism vs atheism, read countless articles, etc. At the end of the day, I have come away with one definite answer to my questions. Life is speculative. Evidence seems to be speculative. An interpretation is based on one's already formed worldview. For example, two scientists study the complexity of life. One is an atheist, and the other a theist. The atheist will see the evidence at hand and it will confirm his atheism. "At last, we understand how life works. We now have no need for a god!" The theist will look at the exact information at hand and will shout to the heavens, "what a glorious God we have, life is so complex it can only point to an amazing creator!" Each one is made up his own mind. The information is the same, the conclusions are opposite.
I have made up my mind. I shall follow a God who I have found to give meaning and purpose to my life. Each man must make up his own mind. May we always have the freedom to do so.
