Evidence for God from Science

I was on a bus today that took me all around where I live. Lovely day. I’m in the countryside, with sheep and cows and horses one minute, the next minute I’m going along a road right next to the Atlantic sea. I mean, if I still had old London in my life I’d have had the hat-trick.

But the point. I just thought, Wow. You know? What makes you think, Now this scenery, this setting (e.g., the weather), this is beautiful?

And the breeze coming through the open windows on the bus…man, do me a favour, this was beautiful. Now I know many of you guys live in some lovely parts of the States, so can you top this? And remember, it was a nice day in England!

Along the Front Range in Colorado, USA

The Rocky Mountains and the weather despite the snowstorms: snowed last night about 7 inches, now sun is out and a balmy 40 degrees snow melting off the streets… Winters can be snowy but overall the weather is mild and sunny in the winter and sunny hot and mild summertime.

The Mountains in summer time are awesome and the Parries too are the nicest things where I live. The base elevation for where I live is about 4,900 feet above sea level and the highest nearby Mountain peak is a 14,000 footer, Longs Peak… Having a National Park nearby to hike in during the spring and early fall makes it the best as well as the state parks.

I'll raise you a nice day in Scotland, I've heard they have scenery in England but I somehow always miss it

I love being 20 mins from the city centre, an hour from the coast and an hour to rolling hills in the middle of nowhere. The four seasons in one day style weather is a nice perk too.

The Great Smokey Mountains in the fall with the leaves changing is hard to beat.

I guess I enjoy being able to go swimming from March-October. And wearing shorts pretty much all year round, with only a few cold weeks. I do miss the mountains of New Hampshire, though. But, I certainly don't miss ice, all the way up to April.

I live in the Hills,
We have a Puffing Billy Train and loads of fauna and flora but what i love most is the close knit community of people, everyone says hi and my neighbours are awesome.
Also our church is mud brick and has a real nice warmth to it

In Wisconsin? Maybe the Packers...

I guess nice variety of weather, the country is flat but still pretty, nice woodland and some open space and generally tight-knit communities around where I live. Pretty comfortable around here.

Haha I live in Wisconsin too! Where are you at?

I can't really think of a great thing about it when compared to some of the above. I guess I do like my hometown.. I like the range of weather. Something about where I live makes me never want to change it. I like the farmland.
But the mosquitos. O_O

My wife and my daughter.

nothing that is natural. But there is a food lane, with the best restaurants in town, all lined on both sides. Truly the best and some very unique food places for having a birthday bash or a romantic dinner or just hanging out with friends. That's about it.

You need to get off the M1 then, Pro

Many of my best nights out have been in Glesge!

Now there's a place I could live!

And for people in Scotland too because, as Pros said, that have four seasons in one day style weather in Scotland, we can have that too in our Colorado Highlands!

Scotland? Good scenery in Scotland?

As I was reading the posts here, I recalled a conversation I had with a client in his office a while ago. ''Where are you from?'' I asked. ''Bangladesh!'' came the answer, ''It's the best country on earth!'' he affirmed.

Now...I'm well travelled but I've never been to Bangladesh (who would want to go there?) Bangladesh seems to be the most gawd-awful country on this planet: wall-to-wall slums, garbage & human refuse in the streets, regular catastrophic flooding, amazing poverty...a veritable Loser of a country. Even India - Bangladesh's only neighbour - has put up a barbed wire & electrified fence all along the 4000+ km border the two countries share. Not good.

''So why have you come to live here?'' I asked my client. ''You can't live in my country'' came his answer. ''Beautiful country but you can't live.''

Which brings me to my point: the best place on earth is the one you come from. Even if it stinks.
