Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science?[/i] ~ Carl Sagan [/quote] Science is dependant on its governing laws (and its patterns) without which reliability and accuracy wouldn't exist. How does Sagan think these laws came into being. Are laws really the product of randomness and chance? He utilizes a product (scientific laws) while denying its producer (the lawmaker-- God). He was intellectually dishonest, naive or just hard-hearted. Of course, he understands that now. [/quote]

I'm considering god, but need a rational reason to actually believe. I would never take blind faith, as you could end up in any religion just dependant on the influence around you.
Anyway, I'm searching, but need a rational way to decide.
