And I think that's what it's all about.

I've thought about belief lately... What is that?
Cause saying "I believe in the Lord" and saying "I believe I'll be home by 8" are two different things. But... I don't know... There's a difference in "believing in" and "believing".

Science tells us "This is how it is", but I think that what's so amazing with the Bible, it doesn't tell you to "know this" it says: "believe this". - Which gives us a choice. And that's kind of what free will is all about, yeah?

You get to choose to believe it, or you can choose not to. Like Thomas, the apostle, who didn't believe in Jesus' Resurrection when first told of it, then proclaiming "My Lord and my God" on seeing Jesus in John 20:28. But in Joh 20:29, Jesus answers: "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

How this effects babies who die, and those who grow up without hearing about God, I do not know.
But when we can't even fully understand our own brain (If our brains were simple enough for our understanding, we'd be too dumb to understand it anyways), how are we supposed to understand God's?
