Beyond Belief

In Sam Harris´dialogue during the Beyond Belief Conference he stated the absurdity to waste time studying and researching the idea of a God creator. He cited Bertrand Russell´s example of a "celestial teapot" and how he thought that Russell had put an end to the argument. My skepticism or doubt is the difference between a celestial teapot which has no impact at all in the daily lives and common belief of the majority of the world and of a "creator god" whom, if it be true, would have all the significance to look into. With quite a few well studied scientists believing in a creator God and in some if not all of the idea of Intelligent Design, I think that it deserves a little bit of required attention.

If we were to simply disregard everything that didn´t seem to have the evidence to support it, we would not have many of the theories and scientific laws that we have today. But due to the fact that some things happened to which we could not explain raised some interest in us, those who were interested in finding the answer dedicated their time and energies into finding the answers to their inquiries. The laws which scientist come to discover are the very things that help us, if I may use Richard Feynman, to understand how things happen the way they do but they do not tell us why. The law of gravity was found and it explains why things fall the way they do, but it does not explain to us why it falls downward. Why? Feynman uses the idea of watching a chess game and by watching long enough you can come to understand some of the laws of chess...until something happens outside of those laws. Then we must reevaluate to find out why this happens. And it continues and continues.

Why do the supernatural things happen? Things that many call miracles, that which is unexplainable by what we know up to now. Science continues to grow but what happens if we get to the point in science when we no longer can find out more? Is that day possible? Would we then be gods?

Why not look into the paranormal?
