Thanks for your insight, but I must tell you that while I don’t believe in any religion in any way, I do have an abiding faith in some Transcendent Power that I choose to call “God”. I have spent the last 42 years in Scientific R&D as an applied mathematician and biomathematician. The last 38 years have been spent in Cancer Research and medical R&D. And I cannot gaze upon the wonder of the universe both on the giga-scale of galaxies and the nano-scale of cellular and genomic physiology without a sense of awe and bewilderment.
And that has led me to the following which works for me and likely me alone: God is not the Answer; God is the Question.
You see I believe the most important phrases in scientific R&D are: “I wonder how that works” and “Gee, I don’t know yet (with emphasis on yet)”. Anyway that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
