knowing that God is a benefit
God is a benefit to some people.
That benefit is not knowledge it is belief.
There is a big difference between knowing something and believing something.
I believed that I could control my diabetes with diet.
Reality proved that I wasn't with blood tests.
I know that I also need drugs to control my sugar.
My delusion was over-ridden by reality.
When I was in the service my dogtags listed my religion as Christian Science.
At that time in my life, I believed that God would heal me.
I was never really sick, I healed from injuries quickly.
It wasn't my Belief of God healing me.
It was the reality that I was a healthy young man.
rather than accepting everything as fact]
Many people confuse fact and reality.
Reality is always a fact but not all facts are reality.
For example, light speed limit in the Universe.
Fact tells us that no mass can go faster than the speed of light.
That is because all evidence we can understand tells us it is a fact.
However, We don't know if that fact is reality or not because we don't know everything about everything.
If our 'fact' were reality, we would no longer be looking.
But, we still look for things that go faster than light or ways for mass to exceed the speed limit.
We explore wormholes, teleportation and quantum mechanics because we are not sure if our facts are reality.
science really does not have the answers
No, science doesn't.
Science is the quest for knowledge, understanding.
Science is what allows us to create the world we live in.
It wasn't belief that created your ability to communicate online.
That was science and the reality from that science.
The car you use to drive to church is there because of science, not belief.
