Hoops Has Turned Agnostic/Atheist

[_Hoops]

Our city has a wonderful science/natural history museum. I happened to be there today and I was amazed at all the science I had been missing. I walked along the lake in front of the museum, thinking and pondering, and wondering about how much I don't know and how much I do. I now realize that there is very little proof, if any, of any deity. Let alone the christian god. Virtually everything can be explained, and, indeed, was explained, by what I saw at the museum. I freely grant that what I experienced is just the surface of the latest scientific discoveries, but virtually everything I saw made me think. So, I can no longer hold on to my religious beliefs. I'm out. You've won.










Then I went to the art museum across the street and converted back again.

Cool story.

Go to a museum that has both art and science.

Is there a museum of the science of art?

This made me smile.

I will also add that after the MTNA Music Festival I had the opportunity to host last weekend, I am especially right there with you. I am STILL on a high from how well my students performed. This type of talent is God-given.

Congratulations. I used to be part of the "phony" wall of Mormon defense. Welcome to being true to the way you really feel.

Is there a museum of the science of art?

Or the art of science?

Isn't art even easier to explain than science? By orders of magnitude, even?

God must exist because people can paint.

What a brilliant new apologetic...
