Geek squad(?) Forum Friday Forum

Hi Rose-- sorry I didn't reply sooner--had to go for some medical testing--part of the trade off for living into my 8th decade I suppose....

Rather that inject my own thoughts [ I've probably done enough of that already], might I suggest a very interesting little book I just finished: WHEN BREATHE BECOMES AIR by Dr. Paul Kalanithi. He was both a neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who died of lung cancer at 37 [no, he never smoked] and left this profound memoir he wrote in his final year where he reflects on his life as a doctor, husband, and father and how he discarded his 'ironclad atheism' to use his words, when he realized it would mean his life--and suffering--were meaningless. To quote: '...if you believe that science provides no basis for God, then you are almost obliged to conclude that science provides no basis for meaning and therefore, life doesn't have any.''

It's a quick read, and I'd be happy to discuss it with you or any of the Geek squad.

Yea I'll read it, but I can't promise it will be within the next week or so. I got 3 other books on my plate at the moment. 

I've research those sentiments and have watched many atheists v triune God debates that express such, but I understand if you want to hold off the discussion until it can be centered on the book.
