Earlier you mention that religion and science can coexist. Both stories can have their own time and place. While on Earth science holds the answers to truth, in the afterlife science falls short. Yet, science uses math to prove or disprove things and mathematics has its roots in logic and philosophy.

Nothing stops you from reaching out to the philosopher in you and reach a happy medium between your scientific philosophy and the afterlife. God could be a fifth dimensional being with the power to bring you into a higher dimension, similar to how people have learned to make “3D” simulations and soon “3D” printers based on one dimensional data of a string of 0’s and 1’s. I’m sure you (and most intelligent people) hold two contradictory ideas simultaneously.

God and science are in many ways contradictory but it’s possible to reconcile them. Don’t let someone else tell you that just because your belief isn’t scientific that it’s wrong. Many scientific theories have come about from logical intuition. It took many decades to prove or disprove them. Believe in what makes you happy. Life is too short to believe in anything else.
