Religion, Scence and art.

I'm not a scientist on any sort. I'm an artist (and a poor one at that). That's how I look at the world. However I do read a lot. I try to understand the world. I want to know it. I NEED to know and understand it if I'm going to make it into any kind of art that has any significance to myself or to the rest of the world.

I can't very well just throw some random things together and call it something. It's nothing. It's just a bunch of random thing... But anyway.

How do you understand something? You study it. I study the things I photograph. I try to find out their essence. What they really are. I apply this idea to everything that I see around me. At least I try to. So I study. I read. I learn. Which brings me to Science. Specifically Evolutionary Biology. I'm a far way off from realy understanding this thing. The Chemistry and workings of cells completely baffles me. but still I plow on. Book after book. My shelves get fuller and so does my mind and my imagination. And as I have looked God has become smaller and smaller. My quest to understand to world has brought me to the inevitable conclusion that there is no God. In fact, no supernatural forces at work in the universe at all.

I have found more amazement in a drop of pond water than in any person that supposedly can walk across that pond. The world of religion is cold and dark and limiting. but the world I see around me is fantastic and endless.
