Makes you wonder what else is floating around, perhaps before our very eyes, without our being able to see or sense it. Most people learned in school that the amount of matter in the universe is constant. But many people may not realize the implication of this statement. In one sense what it means is that every atom in your body was once inside a star. When the Big Bang took place, it was burned into the heart of every single atom in the universe, and today we carry within us those coded messages.
Some people say that science contradicts religion and destroys faith or spirituality.
But many scientists say that discovering the incredible beauty and structure of the universe only reaffirms their sense of spirituality or even religious faith. For the best book on this I have ever come across, pick up a copy of The Physics of Immortality . Written by an agnostic physicist, it explains very clearly the relationship between science and deeper understandings of the nature of the universe, and what it means about your own life, without one jot of sentimental hooey, and in the moment or two it takes you to read the introduction and table of contents, your conception of life could be forever changed. I'd take it over the Bible as a source of comfort any day. Now, lemme get one thing straight right off.
