Hello from Missouri
Hi,
Just thought I'd join the forum to connect with some like minded folks. I have never practiced a religion, though I spent many years trying be a spiritual person, but that is the past. Today, I am an atheist and quite comfortable with it. Over the past year, I have become increasingly interested in science, especially cosmology. I just finished reading "A Universe from Nothing", by Lawrence Kruass and that book spiked an appetitie to learn more about this amazing universe. The real story of the cosmos as unfolded through scientific discovery is more interesting, beautiful and incredible than any silly story invented by the various religions of the world. I'm not sure how active I will be on this forum or what contribution I will make, but hopefully it will be worth while. |

I'm sure it will be plenty worthwhile.
Welcome. So many cats, so few good recipes. |

RE: Hello from Missouri
Welcome to the forum! Take it slowly or dive right in like I do... Like this:
Why are hemorrhoids called hemorrhoids and asteroids called asteroids? shouldn't it be the other way around? Then again, your doctor wouldn't be a proctologist, they'd be an astronaut. *bah dum bum!* ![[Image: 3d366d5c-72a0-4228-b835-f404c2970188_zps...1381867723]](http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q516/cheapthrillseaker/3d366d5c-72a0-4228-b835-f404c2970188_zpsf31e7a61.jpg?t=1381867723)

Welcome to TTA. I'm currently reading "A Universe from Nothing" as well. I'm on page 60-something.
If you're interested in cosmology, you should check out Carl Sagan's works. ![[Image: 7oDSbD4.gif]](http://i.imgur.com/7oDSbD4.gif)

Hai have fun
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. You cannot successfully determine beforehand which side of the bread to butter. |

RE: Hello from Missouri
I took my time with the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. You can also find some talks he has given on the subject on You Tube.
I will check out Sagan. I have been watching a lot do science documentaries on Netflix. (21-10-2012 09:40 PM)Vosur Wrote: Welcome to TTA. I'm currently reading "A Universe from Nothing" as well. I'm on page 60-something. |

For anyone who's interested, I'm talking about this video:
