Science of Faith

I lost a friend recently to multiple sclerosis. Well, we'd been out of touch for some time. Anyway, she was God-fearing, God-following, good Catholic, and so on. The instant I heard about her passing, I thought "Ok, she was a believer, but what sort of Almighty takes someone like that at a young age leaving 2 young kids and a husband?".

Then of course, I got into the debate (just me behind my own table, thanks) about did *G* listen to the prayer? Probably. I think in terms of Morgan Freeman: "I answer every prayer, but the answer is sometimes 'No'. " Did *G* (easy substitute here for the altruistic view of Almight powerful being who moved us from one spider web to another) invent MS? Did G create us in his image with nerve sheaths that can be destroyed?

Did G create the means for us to discover these nerve sheaths and figure out "Oh that MS is very clever!" ?

Here we go, right? What's science. What's faith. We defined God to sort out our limits right? Then we defined Faith to define how we define an 'Almighty' and what's good or bad right? Did we define Science to reach to that next plateau beyond faith and an almighty?

This is where faith, G, and science all fail me, and I just fall back on 'hope'. I'll get back to this later.
