For what it's worth, several of my Christian friends have Ph.D's and Master's in science.

I believe in always, always, always, having an open-mind, in questioning what we are told, and I certainly have never believed our existence was the result of random chance and evolution because that is what I have been told. Neither do I believe in a supreme deity because that is what others have told me. I've thought things through for myself, come to my own conclusions based on my own thoughts and experiences, which has included supernatural experiences, experiences that have lead me to conclude the human spirit or consciousness survies bodily death. Regardless of whether I believe in a deity or not, I cannot, based on my own experiences, conclude anything other than that their is life after death. Those who have not had such experiences may see things differently.
