Thank you all for your guidance. I have always gleaned wisdom from various sources, philosphers, scientists, even personal experience. If I am not mistaken Buddha encouraged his pupils to ask questions and continue learning. Buddhism is appealing to my curious mind. I respect those who have the knowledge and ability to focus on only one school of thought, however I find that the beauty of an open mind and heart allows me to expand my personal spiritual growth. It is my wish that I do not appear foolish or ignorant, and that I may continue to ask questions.
