reasoning with reason

The word reason can be thought about as a way we as humans understand how things happen. Example, the reason the ball fell was that it was released from above and the action of gravity brought it towards the earth. All around us, in everything we do and everything we experience, we try to understand it by relating it to how or why it happen or occurred.

As we learn while we grow and get wiser, we find reasons for everything that happens around us. More in science where we study something to the depths of its being to find out the nature of it. With these scientifically logical ways of reasoning, we can predetermine the nature of certain things (such as water turning to ice when you remove the energy from it).

Standing where we are in this day and age, we can see that science is generally undisputed when it comes to the understanding of things since it makes sense to us. We also know, that not everything in this world, or in our existence is proven by science yet. These are the mysteries that we know. There can also be a debate that as time goes, we will get more technologically advanced and we shall find the reasons for more and more stuff around us, yet there do exist things in life that we do not and shall not come to understand.

Believing in Divinity, these people understand that there are things which occur that we may not totally have a scientifically proven reason for. We believe in our Gods, and angels and other things that may not be comprehended fully by our minds, but that does not mean since we cannot comprehend it, it does not exist.

The scientific reasoning for how we live and our lives are what makes sense to us and how we give understanding to things. We also give reasons to things which we cannot fully understand, perhaps a miraculous recovery to someone who was terminally ill, or even how people manage to carry out inhumane feats. Atheists who believe in proof and facts also don't see the reality that even with science we cannot prove everything yet, but they believe that they will be able too. Who is sure of that? Is that not the same as believing in something we may believe exists?

Anyway, the expression "everything that happens, happens for a reason" is true for us, as long as we do understand that there does exist things that we cannot fully comprehend that may influence how something happens. We know this well enough as we may refer to it as being lucky, or unlucky!
