It is a logical absurdity to think that an autonomous creature inhabiting creation can remove himself outside of it to observe all that creation is, all at once, much less deign to use those very creature-relative measures to examine the Creator of it all ex nihilo!

It is amazing to me how difficult this point is for some people to grasp.

We do not stand on some Archimedean point "outside" the universe so as to be able to view it all at once in its spatiotemporal entirety. We are parts of what we observe, as well as participants in what we observe.

Given this limit, in no way can man be the measure of God — for he is not even the "measure" of the Universe.

JMHO FWIW

Thank you so very much, dearest sister in Christ, for your most illuminating essay/post!
