It really is. I find it fascinating.
I just feel as if the whole universe has been created as some sort of pretty pattern made by something beyond our comprehension, and we happen to live in it.
And our minds just aren't capable of comprehending it all. It's pretty much similar to the fact that the human mind can't understand the concept of nothingness (e.g. in space)... we feel as if it must be contained within something, it's hard to accept that it's just branches out into... nothing. Just space!
It truly is amazing, but for me personally I find my best option is to just remain in awe by it and not hurt my brain by trying to understand concepts that we perhaps won't know about until after death. You can search for extracts in holy books, and I noticed that some of them contain scientific facts which were only found out recently – obviously the people of hundreds and thousands of years ago would have had no idea! It’s little clues like these which should get people thinking and believing. It’s not like God’s just going to appear at your house one day and say, ‘I’m God. Believe in me.’ You have to search for the facts yourself, find the truth yourself, and it’s people like these who benefit from the peace within as a result. None of my family are really religious, and to be quite honest I’ve never been either, but discussing this in more depth has made me realise that I should be more accepting. This is why at this time in my life I do believe in God and trust all the hints and clues we do have on this world to keep us going.
