Thank you for sharing that dialogue, dear Matchett-PI!

Unknowables are part of the human condition - we are not able to remove ourselves from "all that there is" to observe it "all at once." The human observer is part of his observation. We cannot physically sense how fast we moving, relativistic time, cosmos to quantum proportions. Jeepers we cannot see inside a closed box much less know what the other guy is thinking. We cannot even physically sense the present since time elapses between sense and cognition.

Only God sees "all that there is" all at once - every where and every when, every one and every thing.

Only God knows objective truth. Only He speaks objective truth. Indeed, He is Truth for when He says a thing, it is. It is because he says it.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. - Gen 1:3

Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast. - Psalms 33:8-9

Science appropriates a great deal from mathematics and often more than it can chew. Infinity, for instance, does not translate well because space/time is finite. And the mathematical term "random" is not correctly applied when the system is unknown or unknowable - and the total number and types of dimensions much less fields are unknowable on principle. "Unpredictable" would be accurate. Ditto for "information" and so on. This leaves the consumer believing science knows more than it could possibly know.

Merv should not be concerned about the gaps but take comfort in the big why, i.e. why this instead of nothing at all?

God's Name is I AM.
