The Wind

             "It's more valuable to see with the eye in one's heart,
             rather than see with the eye in one's head."
             The epic crusade of science and technology versus theology, both
             religions of sorts dating back in time more years than any of us can begin to
             comprehend. Maybe that is why, as a whole, we have such a difficult time
             discerning between the two, or rather, why we fail to see clearly the true
             meaning that lies behind the propaganda of either.
             The arguments on either side are significant and carry as much reason

             that it is a book of ideals that we must trust in it's veracity. It isn't meant to be explained!
             Ironically, the thing that people are the most hungry for, meaning, is the one thing that science hasn't been able to give them. Enter God, the means
             that mankind has clung to for purpose. If there isn't a God, does that mean
             that 95% of the world is suffering from some sort of mass dillusion? There
             may be a thousand arguments against there being a supreme being that we can
             think of, but it's all those reasons that we cannot think of that allow him to
             continue to exist as a necessity in our hearts and minds. True, in the pas
