Science Saved My Soul.

Yes, many of those thinkers to whom I owe my mental freedom were religious, like Newton, a Christian, who believed God made the Earth but who then showed me why the Earth would have formed without a god's help. Or Plank and Schrodinger, two more Christians, who believed God ruled the Universe but showed me how God could not control a single electron. The discoveries these and many other people made, the laws they are famous for, are the very things that make gods getting humans pregnant, or angels whispering to prophets in caves, look infantile. I could never and would never question their intelligence. Their honesty and intellectual consistency are a different matter.

Weird...

I can stand on the shoulders of giants and see what even they seemingly could not.

I'm not against the Creator(s), if they exist, if they ever existed. I'm not against the search for the Creator(s). What blows MY mind is that people think religion has anything to do with it at all.

@Imamugu

Religion is based on faith alone instead of any logic or evidence like science is.

Facts and physics have absolutely nothing to do with faith.

Science is Reality not religious at all just as the guy explains in this video.

Watch the video agains and this time understand what he says.

Thank you sooooo much, i am in love with this!

[lilswifty10]

I've re watched this video so many times and it always gives me chills. I wish more people could view our cosmos the same way all of us who watch these videos do.

@brucejsanchez Haha where else would you have come from

[strongtheory]

Space is what I believe. It's the unbelievable, unfathomable, the unknown that is true reality. Not some made up god by mankind. I believe what I can see, visualize, and maybe with enough knowledge prove. I am glad to be an atheist. And my belief lies in the science of Astronomy.

Lol @ the stupid people thinking he said stars made us. Obviously the material and energy required to create us came from an energy source such as a star.

[vhgjk123]

Is there a list of the scientists that the video shows at the end? I recognize many of them but not all

[brucejsanchez]

he even says their might be a creator... so is this guy an "atheist" that believes stars are our creator or is he questioning who God is and is discovering the difference between religion and and Jesus Christ?

[brucejsanchez]

apparently we didnt come from God we came from stars. so is it safe to say this guy worships stars and/or believes that stars are the creator, stars are Gods. Maybe im wrong but starting to sound like faith from this guy.

[brucejsanchez]

so did he just say the universe created him/us??
