I used to be a hardcore atheist. Interestingly, after delving more into the realms of physics and mathematics, I’ve kind of gone back on my principles. No, I’m not any particularly any denomination, but I do think there is some higher being out there. I don’t really believe in any religious texts or figures, but just simply in the fact that everything in this world was arranged by a supernatural power.
Why do I say this? Well, like sobias mentioned, “everyone is religious”, however, I have a somewhat different take on things.
In science and math, we study patterns all the time. For example, in chaos theory, the probabilities can all be graphed into a coherent “wave”. Furthermore, in mathematics, Fibonacci Theorem is an amazing demonstration of the “golden ratio” that appears so often in nature and the human mind, seemingly without any reason.
When you start to see patterns emerge in seemingly random sequences of numbers, something has to be afoot.
I know that sobias’ point was that everyone really does worship something in their lives, but I took a different stance on it. Maybe everyone is religious because our world is built religiously. There’s too many coincidences, and the one thing I don’t believe in is coincidence.
