Man trying to figure out God’s plan will never be totally successful.

Everything we think we understand is only an approximation.

That doesn’t mean we should stop trying. Only that we need to understand we may never understand certain things.

For instance, a very simple example:

We know for certain that a specific length of material will form a circle of a certain diameter. But try to process that as a mathematical formula and you end up with an infinite number. An approximation APPROACHING the actual length but never getting there. But close enough for practical purposes.

So our math is a bit off or we really don’t have a handle on exactly what is happening.

yep. If the four forces of the Universe were created at the moment of the Big Bang ( Gravity, Weak Force, Strong Force, Electromagnetism )... then what came before them? and what created that matter that condensed to the size of thumbnail, and then exploded? This is where a creator comes in, one would think.

that for me is the ultimate question.

“Everything we think we understand is only an approximation.”

We don’t understand anything. We just have a lot of mathematical models.
