Technology explains the "what" questions but rarely (perhaps never) the WHY questions.<br /><br />Ravi Zacharias (www.rzim.org) tells of the time when he had a questioner tell him that he could NOT say that mutilating a baby was morally wrong. He said he wouldn't like it but he couldn't logically justify morality to say that it was wrong.<br /><br />THIS proves a limitation of logic/reason, NOT that there is no morality....<br /><br />Does not reason conclude that there are things bigger than itself? If so, then there are things that exist outside the realm of scientific inquiry....Greg Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771536675375060120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1894412924622627599.post-48140644905350795702011-07-15T22:31:58.187-04:002011-07-15T22:31:58.187-04:00we cannot imagine eternity, we do not understand a...we cannot imagine eternity, we do not understand and cannot comprehend infinity. We understand limits, in living we understand a time period for life, life is therefore but a minor thing, death is a part of life, but after death is eternity, but before life is eternity. As i see it, there is either two paths; matter existed forever, as infinite as time, it cannot be destroyed nor created, it is eternal. If it cannot be created, how was the original matter created? we cannot understand in life as we have no conception of foreverness. Only in after-death where the answers will reveal themselves in a way we cannot understand. Thats your answer and the answer is annoying but its my hypothesis,the answer is so simple, but we will never be able to understand or comprehend it. As for matters involved with life, we are able to answer them with answers that are there supported by science.not annonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247770398764946480noreply@blogger.com
