If the mind can not comprehend the size of the universe, then it as no chance
of comprehending god, so why bother inventing all these religions past and
present as an escape from reality in the hope that god exist, it may exist
but whether a person believes or doesn't believe is of no consequence to it,
what ever it is, so get on with living and being for that is your current
reality

Roll the stone away, Lazarus arises from his slumber.
I was raised in the Episcopal Church, baptised and confirmed, was crucifer
and acolyte,
passed the plate and sang in the choir, all through childhood, prep school
and into my brief college career.
At present usage rates the high grade ore bodies currently being mined
would last around 80 years. If nuclear power went from providing 16% of the
world's elecricity to 80%, then this reduces to 16 years. This suggests that,
if lower grade ores are not effectively available, nuclear electricity has
a limited future. It would also imply that expanding nuclear power is
counter-productive in terms of combatting greenhouse gas emissions.
