My dad, who is a chemical engineer, had a hard time believing in God. Then
he started studying quantum physics, and other complex sciences (he has a

'accidents' created the things that he studies - especially things on atomic
levels. As a matter of fact, this is not so uncommon amongst scientists.
They somehow get a lot more religious the deeper in science they get. Very
interesting stuff.



I do not mean to offend any Christians, but I am a Buddhist
practitioner and as a Buddhist I do not believe in god. There is no
creator in Buddhism. Everything derives from the last moment of
itself, moment by moment.

If there was a creator, it would be ourselves. Our parents don't
create us, they give us our bodies, but the mind moves in and out of
vessels when the bodies they occupy die. In Buddhism, everybody dies,
but nobody is dead.
