[QUOTE="jrerun21, post: 3525488, member: 570954"] I definitely feel you on that one... one that ot me was that a mother on her way home from church was struck by a car and killed with her kids in the car... I have definitely had my times of just not understanding... but I also know life is wayy too complex to be able to sum up somebodys life as a missionary or a church-goer. Manifest Destiny was implimented by the "missionaries" of the time... and they did some pretty horrible stuff. But the people they conquered read past what they saw and still believed... like slaves in the US understanding Exodus... You have to read the book rather than look at what you see... that's what faith is all about... knowing that you are limited by your senses. That's why I know how science is weak... its based on our limited abilities to see, taste, feel, hear. What makes us think we're capable of understanding on a Godly level. One of the things that I learned while getting my B.S. in Biochem... is mass defect. If you can understand that concept, you can understand the limitations of science. In short... 2 protons have a mass... lets say 2 amu... when they join together, they should be 4 amu, since 2+2 is 4... however... they will equal 3 because 1 amu is loss to energy... how can energy have mass... energy is something we can't see, taste, feel, we can only enumerate for calculation... there's a whole part of life that we don't know about.. my dissertation [/QUOTE]
