I've gone through phases myself. I went on religious quests in
   the past, learned quite a bit. I'm always on a quest for Truth.
   There's some truth and validity embedded in each belief system,
   for the idea has to have some truth in order to resonate inside
   people. Now as far as Absolute Truth - that's where things get
   more difficult. I believe in the human spirit - i believe that
   science gets bette...r and better answers for the "where we come
   from" but only up to a point where things start to get murky. Is
   there a higher intelligence? Did God want to understand his
   creation and so joined us in the most complete way possible - to
   be born, to live and to die and be resurrected and ascended in
   order to give us a Method to follow in order to reach the next
   stage of existance? It's all quite possible. Do souls come back
   over and over again for self... "
