But real religious people are constantly learning more of god's laws every day. The real religious people are expanding our knowledge of god's laws - physics, mathematics, astro-physics, medicine, electronics, logic, psychology, quantum mechanics, chemistry, history, genetics, material science, statistics, etc. These are all studies in god's laws.
word. I don't really believe in God in the traditional sense, but is irrelevant, from that point of view, what could be a higher celebration of God's creation than a balanced, just, peaceful, and prosperous mankind? A question of whether or not to improve people's lives should be simple to answer.
