RE: Science is Really the Affirmation of our Faith

in #science7 years ago

Just because we are too limited in fully understanding God's infinite wisdom and powers doesn't mean he doesn't exist. I explain this in a little more detail in my previous post on the subject --

I took a look through wanted to touch on one topic you address;

God mysteriously works in us through this corrupt world. God is like a 4K TV provider. But because of the world’s corruption, the best that we can have is an old-school cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV. Does that mean God is not in high definition? No, he is most certainly high-def, but unfortunately, we have a low-def TV, and thus, we necessarily see God in low def.

I see you're point that we are incapable of having a clear picture of God, but this interpretation still insinuates that we could or will perceive God, but are unable to due to our "tech" so to say. If we had the 4K receiver, we could properly interpret God .

I say this is the issue; it is impossible to interpret god in any way, metaphorical or literal. I've also made a post recently on the Omnipotence of God, and simply put, the very attributes of God (his ability to do anything and everything) defy logical thought itself. There's no way to interpret it's will or motivations, or any way to humanize it. To be omnipotent is to be paradoxically infinite, a concept which can only be understood by something with such attributes itself.

Sort:  

I obviously agree that only God can absolutely understand God, but that doesn't preclude humans from interpreting God or having a relationship with Him in some manner. Omnipotence doesn't prevent or conflict with interpretation.
