Terrence-
As to my "Genius demeaning himself to mock the idiot" comment, it was not necessarily my estimation of your intelligence, (you may or may not be a genius, it doesn't matter), but rather an analogy.
It appears to me that your belief in Reason is mystical in its very nature. Not reason, in the sense that if a>b, b>c, -> a>c,etc., but in Reason being personified in the Human Mind. What is the Mind? Whence comes consciousness? What means happiness?
Your belief that all unknown will be someday known is faith in itself, and unfounded. As man has advanced in his knowledge, one thing that has not decreased is a quantitative measure of what is "unknown". Our senses are limited...sight, sound, touch, scent, taste, etc...all of our instruments are simply extensions of our own senses. (with the notable exception of the clock...side note). Can we say what exists outside the realm of such things?
You state with assertiveness the existence of other planes. I am interested in knowing of your experiences there. Or is this a venture into the hypothetical, or dare I say, mystical?
Forgive me if I am misunderstanding you, feel free to clarify.
My assertion that God exists outside of sensory perception, and can only be experienced through faith cannot be proven or disproven by scientific means, (for example the absurd statement of the first Russian Cosmonauts to circle the Moon...something to the effect that "We looked for God, he is not here"), which only look closer and farther into the physical realm. We cannot touch Him. He touches us.
And with Christmas approaching, I'd like to remind you once again of the time He entered this world of time and sense to reconcile his rebel creation back to Himself. At such a cost as we shall never know. |
