Physicists, cosmologists they're the ones with the answers.
After a few hours in cosmology class I never even let all this
religion nonsense bother me ever again.
You wouldn't believe what we, as a species, know.
It's awe inspiring what we've worked out. And it's all
so beautiful, that's the thing people don't get about physics, how
amazingly, unendingly beautiful it is, and it's real. I could show you
sums that prove it all.
If we taught physics every morning in schools from the age of 5, then sent all
adults to listen to lectures on it every Sunday for the rest of their lives
we'd all be a much more enlightened collection of atoms.
I'm not having a go at anyone, please feel free to believe what ever you need to.
But really if you're curious about the big questions, physics, ask physics, it'll tell you
everything you ever wanted to know about why, and EXACTLY how, we're here.
It's just not a view that you hear very often, and I thought I put it here for people
to see amongst all the ideological mudslinging that will doubtless appear here.
I'm an evangelical physicist!
