It's kind of a funny subject. I'm agnostic, and to alleviate any confusion I mean that to say that I have no idea whats going on. I can't prove a god, I can't disprove a god. So I'm in the middle.
The person who brought up the point that science is much like a religion itself is very correct. Science is just as faith based as religion. It is a system. The scientific method, and all the papers and articles and theories written by it, is the bible.
I sometimes find it interesting to ponder why many early religions that came before judaism, islam, etc have died out. The general populace finds them ridiculous now. At the same time, where will we be 100, 200, 1000 years from now? Assuming we haven't died out (and I'm betting we don't, perhaps another thread for that). Every time a major disaster happens, some people start pointing fingers and claim it to be a sign of the apocalypse. They did it during the years of the plague (for good reason I'm going to say) and well before. For how much longer?
Sometimes also I wonder, what it is about music that I love? Why do I feel like playing music (or indeed doing any kind of art) can be an important life goal as opposed to something logical like saving lives as a doctor? Is it just that I want the fortune and fame of being a popular musician? It isn't, so there has to be some faith in there that I'm doing some good. Down below that, there has to be a reason that I even care if I do good or not. I think that is where religion begins for a lot of people. Personally I choose to believe that we have "guilt" and conscious because our base instincts are to see the survival of ourselves, and also our species. We want out species to survive because it is in our best interest. So it makes sense to do good things that benefit our species, because in the end it benefits us.
We know that if we don't act together in some way, we won't make it. It's the old united we stand, divided we fall. What is it that even drives us to want to survive though? We can keep asking ourselves ever deeper questions until our heads explode. Perhaps it's simply curiosity. What does life have to offer, we wanna know. Perhaps there is a spiritual force watching over us. Maybe we all really think the same thing in the end but thing of it in different terms (god, science, flying spaghetti monster). Maybe I'm rambling too much.
I think it's interesting, but I also think its too much for our heads to comprehend right now.
