Belief

Spanish version

Since I was a child, religion has played a part in my family’s education; my parents taught me that the faith is a component of our beliefs. My belief was that if the faith is truly big, then there won’t be any impossible situations, which is why we often refer to them as miracles.

During my adolescence, there were questions at school such, Do you think there are ufos in space?, Do you think there will be flying cars in 2024? or Do you think there will be a third world war? These questions may be somewhat simple, and the typical response is yes or no.

However, as time goes on, these seemingly simple questions become slightly more complex, more information becomes available, and something new is created every day. If you ask my again those questions, my answers wouldn’t be monosyllables; on the contrary, I wouldn’t feel as secure answering it and would probably spend some time doing it.

Do my beliefs change when I have more information? What I once fervently believed in is now a lie? Am I turning into an non-believer? They are questions that cast doubt on my beliefs.

Nevertheless, there are several situations in which science or technology is unable to explain them. Sometimes such information exists, but we don’t have it. During certain moments, the faith emerges within oneself.
