ALAN SANDAGE, 1926- (Cosmologist who studied the expansion of the universe.)I may be in a minority but I love to explore and discuss the big questions of life. I am not content to go about my life eating and sleeping, being entertained and being bored, making money and spending money without considering why I am here, the significance of life, and the nature of the universe. Science and faith are simply two ways of looking at the world. I have never found them to be in conflict and find each supports the other.
I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God, to me, is the explanation of the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing.

Hmmm, we must teach you the way of uploading and linking pdf.'s to your website Keith!
I too love to ponder the question of life! It becomes even more interesting when you consider life individually and communally. After all... does purpose and meaning come from the individual or in a communal identity? Is there a difference?
