Reality (C.S. Lewis)

Ok I don't have much to say about this, because I truly think that C.S. Lewis says it best.

"Besides being complicated, reality, in my experience, is usually odd. It is not neat, not obvious, not what you expect. For instance, when you have grasped that the earth and the othe planets all go round the sun, you would naturally expect that all teh planets were made to match -- all at equal distances from each other, say, or distances that regularly increased, or all the same size, or else getting bigger or smaller as you go further from the sun. In fact, you find no rhyme or reason (that we can see) about either their sizes or the distances; and some of them have one moon, one has four, one has two, some have none, and one has a ring.
Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have."
---C.S. Lewis from Mere Christianity

Christianity is hard to wrap our heads around, but then again so are many other real things. The human body and development, the solar system, the weather; all real and yet somewhat mysterious.
