But it seems to me to call the parameters on which the graphic is based . . . to call those parameters

valid parameters on ALL THAT IS

IS A REALLY FOOLHARDY SET OF ASSUMPTIONS.

We don't have sufficient perspective in any respects to firmly grip such a huge set of assumptions with any arrogance at all, much less 'sanity' compared to say . . .

God's perspective.

We don't even know where the curtains are, much less what's behind those unknown curtains.

Quix is right, physicist. As you know, many physicists believe (a la string theory) that we live in a very multidimensional existence - even if most dimensions are 'rolled up.' Quantum mechanics has not yet explained the transition from the wave function world to the real world. We do not know from what the Big Bang sprang. Etc. Etc. There are many curtains there - and as Quix says, there may well be many more of which we unaware. Physicists and scientists in general are far too quick to believe we see most of that which exists.

WRT where the curtains are and what might be behind them, perhaps this lack of knowledge itself speaks mountains in regards to our proper domain. Even without this knowledge, thereis substantial rich blessings available to all men and each man from the simple situations provided him.

How many people have simply been able to master the concepts of body, soul, and spirit, their relationships and Scriptural insistance upon those issues? Consider their interconnection woth known miracles even documented in Scripture and made manifest by Jesus Christ Himself.

Until those are mastered or even grasped with marginal acceptance without ignoring their implications, it seems a bit foolish to get to deep into multidimensional theories.

Stated another way, I've been able to glean more from 8 hours of studying Scripture than 7 years of postgraduate physics in the ability to better fully explain all experience.

I always find it interesting how so much Scripture has been made public and eternally manifest, always describing the same basic conditions of man in a relationship with God, and yet it's amazing how scarred we are and not be able to grasp its simple meanings which have been repetitively stated throughout Scripture and through the ages, by young and old, rich and poor, studied and retarded.

One either gets it or they don't, but it begins with simple faith in Him as repetitively stated in Scripture.
