I studied science. I'm an inventor and have 4 patents under my name. I like science. I also like philosophy. Philosophy was actually my undergraduate degree. The human mind is amazing. I look at religions as philosophical teachings. They are very good being perfected for so many years. I find Buddhism the most enlightened religious philosophy. 2500 years old. It's basically the same as Christianity but puts the responsibility squarely on the practitioner to be good and to improve themselves. There is no need for Heaven or Hell. You will create your Heaven or Hell through your action and intentions. If you read the bible or Koran or any other teaching, they are words made up from someone's mind. Even then, they've been modified over hundreds and/or thousands of years to get the teaching as good as it gets. You really can't go wrong following the good words. I just know all those words are from ideas from human heads. Make two fists and put your hands together. That's the size of our brains. The brain is mostly made of fat. It's an amazing thing. I'm just so happy there were very high IQ people that helped lead the human race to greatness; Jesus, the Buddha...
You're on the right path. It's a long path to not lose our way.
The only way you know god is through your faulty brain. Ponder that.
