re: #756 Salamantis

No, Sal, we’re not communicating well. I don’t turn off my brain. In fact it is similar to what evolutionist do when something isn’t explainable yet. What do they do? They say “Well we don’t know yet how this evolved to do what it is doing but eventually a natural explanation will be found.” This is similar to what I do except I attribute it to God instead of having faith in our own cleverness, I have faith in God.

You’re are like a computer, fantastic consumer of information. You will be great at disseminating that information. You know the rules, on or off, true or false. You are so weighed down, constrained, burdened by conventional thought that you are incapable of thinking outside the box. You would never be someone who comes up with the next leap of knowledge because you are so bound to what you can see with your own eyes and touch with your own hands that the greater things escape you. You look backwards never forwards, always down at your feet and never up to imagine possibilities beyond this cold hard world. You are so anchored to this your observable world that you forfeit what your mind is capable of. This is the difference between you and I. It is not that I cannot know and understand and learn the things you are so desperate to cling to, touch, and see. No, I can understand those things but I am also capable of thinking bigger beyond what is visible, touchable. I imagine that if left unfettered man would advance science enough only to find God staring back at them, but our time will end before that happens and you will no longer be able to be anchored to the things of this world and what will you be left with? Nothing.
