Can you say yes to all of these?

Let's just say for now the things science doesn't explain religion does... The more I read the more I think that there's a "theory of everything" and that must be God.

Moreover, I don't put logic and religion together, I borrow from both and define my own principles. i.e. Practices that make sense in religion, the core belief of a God and having hope is what I borrow from religion... funny thing is living like that I don't have to negate a lot of practices (note that the most irrational ones are construct of the society) I often say I believe in a God but I don't believe in your culture or construct of God.

Honestly, often being paralyzed trying to reconcile the two things, I just do what both science and religion would approve of... I put aside the unprovable notion and have faith because I don't believe I'm that smart anyway. It's actually quite wholesome when you subscribe to a religious notion and honestly most practices are mentally, physically and emotionally helpful. Sure I can do it without religion but that only thing I can say is that when I pray it would be equivalent to Tony Robbins couching me for months. I just become a person in a good mindset and usually doing things without religion doesn't quite do it (I won't be lauded by most religious folk though)
