i don't know i've seen or felt things that i can't explain does that tell me anything i don't know but i'm on this journey to to find out and i hope you know i take my listeners with me on that journey do you believe in miracles
Hence how you define miracles.
I believe that there are things that happen that we cannot explain.
And being agnostic, I'm willing to say that those could be due to some unseen force.
I just don't know.
But I believe there are things that happen beyond our understanding and beyond our ability to predict.
So let me take off my scientist hat for one moment and just talk to you as me and what I believe.
If there is a God, I believe that it's a God who would care for all of God's creatures, that there wouldn't be one religion that is right.
And what I've seen in enough different faiths, the ones that have lasted a while and meet people's needs, is that they provide ways to live better lives.
And so I would say, try on different ones.
See what resonates with you.
I mean, people convert, people leave.
And I think really there are multiple routes to God if God exists.
And there are multiple ways to use this wisdom to improve your life if God doesn't exist.
And it's okay to sample.
It's okay to try.
It's okay to ask your questions.
But what I want to urge them to do is please don't just assume that there's no rational reason to think about religion.
And the best piece of advice I can give you is advice that a wise rabbi once told me.
And the Hebrew, I'm not going to pronounce it correctly, but the Hebrew saying is naesh v'nishmaa.
