I recently had a very interesting talk with one of my very closest friends. We mostly discussed evolution and the impact of the subject became very clear to me, even though I had not been unaware of its impact. We also discussed other questions that are difficult to deal with such as: If there is a just and all-loving God, why is there pain and suffering in the world?
These are questions that take quite a long time to answer, and in this case I think we should establish what we mean by "answer", but I will get to that. This series is meant to address some of these questions in a clear and concise way. My goal is not to persuade anyone. I myself believe that there is an all-loving God. In particular I believe in the Christian God. Nevertheless, like I said before, my goal is not to persuade anyone and neither is it to claim that I am absolutely right and that there is no other option.
My goal is to present an all-loving God as a very viable option, an option (in my opinion) to which Science strongly points. I am interested in thoughtful discussion. What I am not interested in is people disrespecting each other's viewpoints and opinions and people getting mad and annoyed at each other. If you want those kinds of discussions, there are several other blog sites on this topic where people do that.
This is such an interesting and important topic. Let's treat it with respect.
That being said, I will try to write as often as possible, but I am hoping that the discussion gains enough followers so that keeping the thread alive wouldn't just depend on me :). Anyone is welcome to participate. I will probably do most of the writing, but I also plan to ask a good friend of mine, who has studied this subject a bit as well.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
Thanks,
Hermann
