I believe in rendering to science the things that belong to science. I have no problem with evolution or discussions of the age of the Earth, for I don't believe that we come anywhere near comprehending the mind of God or the workings of the universe. Science can explain a lot, but it cannot give us faith, and I think we need both. Brandon Sanderson
About This Quote

The concept of God is a very complicated one. In order to believe in God, one must have faith. This is a very broad definition and very broad topic. I do not claim to be an expert on this subject or even remotely close to being a theologian.

I only know the basics of this very broad topic and I will try to explain my thoughts on it in a simple way so that I can communicate with you. First of all, I don't think we come anywhere near comprehending the mind of God or the workings of the universe. I believe that everything that happens has a reason behind it and that we cannot understand everything about anything that happens, even if we try to.
