In religious terms, sometimes faith is used in context of being able to perform miracles..



Or the ability to witness miracles...





I'd like to say that with miracles, quantum phenomena at the macro level, the observer is active participant in its unfolding, but no one solely performs or witnesses.

The Universe.

Something out there is doing SOMETHING, I can't deny it.

Yeah maybe.

As much as I love math I'm not one of those "math reductionist" people.

I DONT think math can explain everything. The world is too complicated to be explained even by the most abstract math

Stephen wolfram is currently trying to distill everything down to homotopy type theory. Check out the "wolfram physics project"  I don't care for lex Friedman, but wolfram show with Friedman is pretty good.

I have faith that the sun will bring light and the clouds will bring water and that the plants will provide earth with everything needed to sustain humanity forever.

I have strong belief in the stories in the Bible,,, a lot of it could be symbolic, or exaggerated by a less than competent witness (who probably believes his own account and doesn't know it's not quite true), miss-heard information (though, thought to be true by the actual authors of the Bible) or many other holes in the narrative could be mistakes of some sort and may even be forgivable from my point of view, but the authors of the gospels I'm sure as could be thought what they were writing were the true accounts and stories and actions and words spoken by whom-so-ever they claim, the differences are a matter of "perspective," which we each got just like them, and it still fails us now and than, giving both true and false impressions and than left to our memory which has it's own problems.

Yeah, my Faith is in Christianity, preferably a non-denominational church, there's more freedom to choose how one shall worship or just in general keep the faith alive, it's usually more open-minded with more flexible people. It seems like if you were hurt at one of those other church's, you end up going to a non-denominational church afterward.

I'm really curious about Unitarian Universalist, there's one not far from where I live, but I've never been to one, I hope if I go I'd meet some nice, smart people, and I'd hope the services are good (hopefully involving some time for meditation).

I've wanted to check out a Unitarian Universalist for many years and attended a service a couple of weeks ago. I was invited by a family I've become friends with.
There were some aspects of it that I liked. Much of the service was storytelling by the elders. Some were very good and funny, with great messages. It was a 90 min service and moved along nicely. Some original songs, with a piano player.  The people were very friendly and welcoming. Children passed the plate, which I liked. 

There was no meditation period. But many pauses for silence. Like many of the meditation groups in the area (I attend two regularly) the UU church has strongly embraced political and social activism.  I get tired of all the talk of the problems with "whiteness" & "white privilege" & "white fragility".

I haven't been to any gathering recently were there was so much mask wearing.  Which is fine.  I think some people will wear masks for many years to come.  At this point, I think it's like a security blanket and helps people feel safe.
