Mission Statement of "The Postulatist"

Some of our greatest inventors, thinkers, and legendary scientists started out as ordinary people who had an insatiable curiosity about the world around them. When they expressed their thoughts about what is around them, they were often cheered, booed, scorned, praised and sometimes even executed. (Sorry Socrates!) Since I was a little child, I have been a very curious person, at times, to alleviate boredom, I would grab a random encyclopedia and leaf through it, stopping to read when I came across something interesting. My curiosity had no real boundaries by topic, subject, or application so I suppose you could call my interest one that makes me a polymath.
There are many things I know, some I know a lot about. There is much I do not know and everything I know, there is always someone who knows more. However, despite all of the fracturous descriptions, I am a man of faith and I am a firm believer in God. I have seen and benefited way too much to believe any of this is "systemic chance".
Religion and my beliefs are not the subjects of this blog. I want to make this clear right away. I only mention it because one of my beliefs is that science is completely indivisible from God and that many of the mysteries we puzzle over in the sciences are no mystery to Him. Our lack of understanding comes from lack of comprehension, data, and sufficient faculties to understand the processes we study. Like many prideful children in our own lives, we simply refuse to include Him in our study and so are limited in what we can observe.
Over the past several years in my idle moments, my mind has dwelt upon some of these mysteries and what they are, how they operate and what their true nature is. Some of these topics include gravity, charge, space, black holes, and so forth. The list is hundreds of topics long. On some of these, I have pondered deeply and at times have felt what I believe to be true inspiration. Not being a scientist, which is to say, not being trained by the Universities of man, I lack much of the scientific methodology that those who have doctorates in Physics, Astronomy, Particle physics, and theoretical physics have. I also have no intention on gaining one. I prefer my normal life.
I do want to express these ideas, though, and granted many of them have no basis in currently accepted scientific theory. For that, I won't apologize. If there is anything we have learned about the universe around us is that a scientific theory or law is only accurate until it is not. How can anyone claim an idea I suggest is wrong when so many widely accepted theories in science have been disproved as well. I am not asking for acceptance. I am just throwing out what I have mulled over in my head and heart for others to take a peek at.
