I don’t understand why it is not true that the more one understands creation, the more one sees a creator behind it.
i.e. the more we know, the more we know we don’t know. It’s a fascinating search, though.
I see Science as trying to figure out how it all exists and Religion as trying to figure out why it all exists. The two are completely separate pursuits, though understanding one can often give keys to understanding the other.
Just finished “The Science of God” very interesting read. By Gerald Schroeder
Our conception of time itself is now turning out to be very incoherent and superficial.
Perhaps, from the point of view of eternity, the end of the cosmos is also its source and its temporal beginning.
Perhaps the ultimate flower is also the primal seed from which all sprang.
Perhaps the final result of the cosmical process is the attainment of full cosmical consciousness, and yet what is attained in the end is also, from another point of view, the origin of all things.
So to speak, God, who created all things in the beginning, is himself created by all things in the end.
