SPACE

I was musing with Guru Basil about space. Science has proven that the human body is almost entirely made up of space. This is due to the incredibly small size of the molecules/atoms and the vast distances between them. Intriguing thought.
Guru Basil helped me out
'It makes sense Dad. We are part of the Earth, the earth is part of the solar system, the sun the stars, which are all part of the galaxies, which are all part of space. It is all connected.'
He instantly saw it and took it to another level. Einstein would be proud. And Eddington.

Eddington did the measurements that put Einstein and his theories on the world map.
Eddington had a strong belief in God.
My guess is that science an religion will eventually realise they are seeing the same thing.

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstein.
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein.
