When discussing the inherently miraculous, what we think we know of the universe has little bearing how much of the world is part of you , from birth? How many of the elements are at work in you now ? What forces , that we know to be observable in physics are also part of your physical make up ? What part of animal instinctual behavior that is also observable is of some part of each one of our make-ups to? All these things from the purely physical nature of matter up into orgnized organic sytems we call life form with instinct and behavior are all observable , can be studied and apparent universally in all corners of the world, and far back thru time ... including our own extensive present . Mentioning an expanding Universe , was only to comment on the relative perception during the Biblical age of the referance to eternity , which now has been enhanced and advanced by so many millions if not billions of years .... It is fairly evident , and I would be surprised if you disagreed , that in many statements Jesus was speaking of a judgement day that was "nearing" and soon to be .... My question to you 2000 yrs later simply involves the question now that can be posed , of how one regards the idea of a final day of Judgement , as so much time now passed , and we now percieve the true scope of the vast stretches of time that Jesus was probably not himself aware . Or is the final day of judgement in reality , an eternal ongoing process of unfoldment realization , and fulfillment of Dharma ? I am not sure what you are professing here as your personal Christian beliefs ... one moment indicate you choose to allign with the church's residual current theology which still embraces a final day of Judgement.... But now you state you have no idea of there being a final day of Judgment.... so that answers some parts of my question. good to know you remain open Neo...I have a lways like that about you. ;-) When discussing the inherently miraculous, what we think we know of the universe has little bearing..... I think "thinking" itself is often a miracle enough Neo ...that we can imagine & wonder at the universe is icing .
