Another way of looking at reality

We all construct our own reality by way of interpreting limited information into a larger whole. The limited information that is the same for all of us is discoverable through science. The rest is the province of luck, religion, chance, or destiny.

Quantum mechanics tell us that there is an uncertainty to even science and there are probabilities rather than absolutes. In question is the extent to which consciousness affects these probabilities. We know that an observer is necessary to the process but it is less clear to what extent the observer is only a catalyst or is more of a decision maker.

Our religions are not in conflict because they are part of the personal portion of our reality construct. Some reality constructs have religion playing a larger part than chance. Perhaps the catalyst vs. decision maker quandary is part of the individual’s reality construct and the extent to which we cede power to a larger entity.
