Without confusion and doubt there can be no learning or personal growth.
​
There can be only self-satisfaction and stagnation of the mind.
​
personal doubt can cause confusion both which can lead to stagnation.
Self satisfaction can lead to confidence and the willingness to go where no one has gone before.
​
perspective is everything.

What I find fascinating is that, if a believer had been in our shoes and had the same experience of this unseasonably balmy weather and quite seamless moving experience, I am quite positive that they would have attributed it to God, even though the experiences would have been exactly the same.
​
Ah....the experience would not be the same. You do not believe so it would mean nothing to you. A person of faith may find meaning thereby altering the experience. Just a different perspective.
