I note that “exclusively.” I wonder if it’s necessary. I wouldn’t have thought to include it!
It’s really nice that others appreciate your work and your blog, as is only to be expected they should!

I agree that living exclusively for the next world is not the way to go.

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and let me
tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

Glad you did. I’m going to try to use your FB id–never saw one of those before

Surely because of its religious connotations. I became agnostic in my late 30s precisely because of what I had written here about not wanting to have faith that all would be put right “in the next world,” “on judgment day.”

I will think about what you said. Belief versus faith. The word “faith” seems to perturb many people, but I am not sure why.

Thanks so much for saying all that. I find it fascinating and shall ponder. But I’m so glad you’ve clarified that “faith” means something like what you’ve written. I guess my first thought is to say, why not just call it “belief”? “Belief” to me says less than “faith,” but says all that one needs to say about what you describe. You’ve thought about things and come to believe ….. You don’t as yet have evidence to support that belief, but that’s not a concern, you can be on the lookout for evidence, but in the meantime you enjoy your belief and may even be developing it farther.

As regards what you describe, e.g., the patterns we note or may note, I’d suggest that they are a function of brain structure or, rather than structure, the brain’s capacity to create structure. In fact, I’d say, if humans generate such things, then that’s what they have to be, i.e., manifestations of brain product.

The other thought I had reading what you wrote is that it reminded me of mathematics, which surely, par excellence, is discovering hidden structure. Yes?

Thanks for offer of sending email, but I don’t have yours. You have mine. You would have to think back, far back to make the connection! School days1
