Superstition drove me from the pew, but I asked myself: Must it be God or science? Couldn't events interpreted from the Word and taught from the pulpit as a physical 'rapture' be rationally explained as detachment born of the rebirth of faith?
"Put all your beliefs into harmony with science; there can be no opposition, for truth is one. When religion, shorn of its superstitions, traditions, and unintelligent dogmas, shows its conformity with science, then will there be a great unifying, cleansing force in the world which will sweep before it all wars, disagreements, discords and struggles -- and then will mankind be united in the power of the Love of God."
--‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks
