More Intellectual Musings

I've been doing some thinking as of late. A lot of times, I've heard that the concept of the existence of different dimensions allows for the existence of "heaven." When I was Catholic, I would have agreed. However, I have to change my opinion after certain pieces of evidence have come to light. Being I used to be Catholic, one of the things we were always taught is that our souls and our bodies would be reunited at the "Last Day," when Jesus would come to Earth again to reclaim humanity to himself and to God. Knowing what I now know, that just seems highly unlikely. That simple concept by itself doesn't work. According to several religions (in general), when we die, our souls are separated from our bodies, and transcend dimensions to some form of an afterlife. Christianity is the only religion that I am aware of that takes this one step further by making the claim that at the "Final Resurrection" our bodies are once again reunited with our souls in this new dimension. This is not even possible. The "Final Resurrection" would technically mean that we would become alive again, which makes no sense. When you die, that's it. At least, that's what I believe. I've had people tell me that science has actually strengthened their faith in whatever religion they belong to. I, on the other hand, have had the opposite happen to me. Science negated my faith, because so much in the universe went against it. Not only that, but the fact that there are so many interpretations of the same concept led me to believe that none of them could be right. I just don't understand it.
