The way you explain your path is so beautiful. I feel the same way. I really appreciate and love people who admire the beauty of creation, then contemplate about existence of a greater Artist, a Creator. I think this was something so intelligible by human nature, but hearts of majority is in delusion so most of us don't see the beauty of creation let it be the Creator. As a Muslim I may think myself nearer to devote and sincere Christians in front of a soulless Modernist world. I understand why you got closer with Christianity and I know this comment by random person may seem meaningless - and I'm not someone who write such comments all over the internet - but I think it would be awesome if you have an idea about Islam as a person who reached that point by solely listening pure sprit. At least the Christianity from Islamic perspective. Majority of people sees the religion only from its customs so I understand if it seems very Arabic even though there are cultures of many many different nations in our cultural heritage. Thanks for reading anyway. I'm very happy for you. May God guide us all to the right path, path of peace and beauty.
Why do you think beauty points to a creator? I've heard this argument from a few people who have thought deeply about life: Kant and Francis Collins. Could beauty not have arisen as simply a feature of the unfolding of the galaxy? Maybe the better question is: why a beautiful universe on the whole and not a repulsive one? Is it more this sense that the natural world *is* appealing to the eye, rather than not? I'm asking these questions because I'm trying to work out what I think makes sense about life, what is worth believing in, what is meaningful, what is right, what is true. Thank you for sharing your thoughts; it's nice to see others on the journey for meaning :)
