Question

Is it important to worship something?
I appreciate science, but feel that a world where everything explained will be boring as hell. The wonderment of the unexplainable and the divine, is in my mind a crucial part of how we live. Could we function without it

Answer

Great question. Bob Dylan wrote a song years ago entitled, quotYoure gonna serve somebodyquot. How true this is. Like the old saying goes, it does not take a rocket scientist to know deep down, humans want more, it only takes...well....a human, to know this. brbrEveryone of us want security. The second we were born, we cried for love, we got it, and stopped cryingdesiring. That was sufficient at the time, but as life continues, we learn these sources fail, then we naturally hunt for other sources. brbrWe constantly worshipput faith in many things during this hunt. And until a person is completely confident of where hisher secure source of love is coming from, we will always be on this hunt. brbrIn Dylan s song he goes on to say, quotyou may serve your boss, family members, God, Satan, etc., but youre gonna serve somebodyquot. Its a never ending pursuit of trying to secure that feeling of love. brbrSecure is the key word here. People, places, and things are only secure as long as they last, therefore, we are constantly in a pursuit of that source that will quench our thirst forever. brbrWithout getting into Religion, as you requested, I will simply say this, God seems to be that source for many of us that is in fact secure. Not religeon, God. brbrWhile I do agree with the quottheoryquot that God created the Ocean, I also agree with you. The theory in itself does not explain away the awesome wonders of this world. brbrLooking out and experiencing the jaw dropping amazement seems to have incredible psychological, physiological, and theological value. Thanks for your question.brbrJames
