Very enlightening, IndianCowboy. This is exactly what I look for on the Web. Right now, I am browsing, looking for what wisdom I can harvest in five minute bites, as I have to get a bunch of stuff done today. And that is what you provided - I feel I really learned something here. Sorry I do not have a substantive comment, but just wanted to let you know I appreciated your very personal, but insightful post.

Seekers of truth can find it in the contiguous dimensional worlds, hunorously described by Edwin Abbott in 'Flatland'. Science determines truth by checking phenomena against the over-all theory. If that theory explains the phenomena then we can firmly hold it. 'Techie Worlds' (available at amazon.com) examines Trinity, resurrection, judgment, soul, and finds Christian teaching logical and rational in Abbott's context.
Unlike Christians, materialists believe that only this world exists. Science can only experiment with this material world, whereas mankind is quite unable to manipulate the higher worlds.. Yet humans report on miracles, on events such as the dance of the sun at Fatima. Pagans believe in many gods (with good reason) and the possessed levitate, all evidence that spirit worlds do exist. Both positions resolve to 'acts of faith', but the Christian (in the Flatland context) is simple, consistent, and most rewarding for human improvement. Open your minds with 'Techie Worlds' logical explanations.
