BB: Would you consider this statement worth pondering?: The Universal Now is something that can be experienced (albeit in a limited and rather fleeting way); but the experience itself cannot be "reduced to" a "measurement."

Yes'm... '-) I have pondered it, and conclude that something that is experienced "in a limited and rather fleeting way" does not fit my concept of "Universal"...

I realize that we have shared (both in-forum and privately) testimony re experiences we have had -- that are special to us as believers. However, I don't feel justified in putting my own experiences in the same category as those of The One Who is not at all bound or confined by space and time...

Certainly, neither do I. And that's a fact.

Still, there is the nagging problem of how human observers typically understand their "place" in the universe. Especially those who don't have a clue what the "universe" IS.

The method to my madness is to suggest a universe of such astounding complexity, and yet of such astounding order — and purpose — such that it could have had only a divine origin.

Whether you've noticed it or not, that is my basic motive for writing, here or anyplace else these days.
