You might be like me and enjoy the mysteries that life has to offer. Aren't mysteries wonderful? Unfortunately, when you solve that mystery, it tends to have a disappointing outcome, or it just turns out that there are no real answers and that they mystery is a mystery for mysteries sake. Does it seem as though I'm talking in riddles? Perhaps I am, but I know what I mean and there's no real mystery behind what I'm saying!
What I'm saying is, that the best mysteries are the ones that can't be solved! The kind of mystery that presents tantalising clues, but then fades away again, only to resurface many years later. I've examined a few in this here blog... the crucifixion... archaeological anomalies, and so on. These are the best mysteries, because the truth isn't easily accessible. there are people working hard to hide the truth. Probably harder than those trying to discover it. There's mis-information, dis-information, and academic ridicule for those who dare to challenge the established orthodoxy.
I have my own opinions on such matters and I use rationale and deduction to reach my conclusions. These are valuable weapons when opposed against blind faith in religion or science. Both have their merits of course (science and religion), but the real truth probably lies somewhere in between, which presents a problem for those firmly encamped in one or the other. Let's face it, the theory of evolution is probably about as accurate and definitive as the bible version of the crucifixion. Anyone with the least capability of rational thought would spot the immediate flaws in either one, yet even intellectuals cling on to these ideas for dear life. Ah well, here's to philosophy, where even the impossible remains a possibility!
