I Am Fascinated By Science, Religion, and Philosophy

I've been an atheist for most of my life. I've looked at nature and wondered at the beauty and majesty of it all. That wondering lead to continued questions about things like, why leaves changing colour in Autumn are so beautiful, especially since it is because they are dying? Why are sunsets and sunrises such spectacular sights?

Learning the science behind the these things didn't change their beauty, but in some respects, increased it. One thing that has happened, though, is that with each answer comes more questions, more opportunity to explore the universe.
