Crucifix
At Sacred Heart of Mary Catholic Church. After 40 years of being an on-again-off-again atheist, an ultra-logical scientist that required logical "proof", I have found Catholicism as my way forward. There were four contributing. First was the book Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley. Early in the book, he emphasized that all religions require a meditative (prayerful) component to make sense. That using logic to find God fails, but using God to find truth, works. That seems to be true. Secondly, Kurt Friedrich Gödel, a brilliant mathematician, proved that in any set of axioms there are assertions that are true that cannot be proven true and assertions that are false that cannot be proven false. I apply that tot he existence of God. Thirdly, I began a 4 year course studying the Bible and have been blown away by the interconnectedness, the symbolism, the meanings that go deeper and deeper. Lastly, I began to realize that the mystery of why the speed of light is what it is (or any constant in physics), is no more or less a mystery that the existence of God, or evil, or Jesus, etc.
