I used the term "Maker" in my last post. I know some of you don't believe in a Maker, but instead that all things arose out of some kind of spontaneous combustion of chaotic nothingness. Fine by me that you believe that. But it reminds me of that old joke where the scientific researchers scraped together a bunch of dirt and created a human. They told God they were as good as he was and they didn't need him around anymore. "Hmmm . . ." says God. "Not so fast, boys and girls. Nice try, but next time get your own dirt!"
The eye cannot see itself. A tooth cannot bite itself. A hand cannot grasp itself. Logic cannot logos itself.

"Nothing comes from nothing." Whether a clod of dirt or highly advanced simian, there has to be the "raw stuff" of creation.

Hi, George. In the absence of "proof" of what is TRUE each decides what is "true". I just sucked myself into forwarding a message purportedly from an "authority" because I believed what it said. Lesson here: question what I believe to be TRUE. This is not easy. L&B, Eve
ReplyDeleteEve, your comment gave rise to "the synthronizing of spirit and matter (part 4)" which you can read as the very next post. As always, I appreciate your comments and your strong good soul.
ReplyDeleteJourney Tour Guide, "Nothing comes from nothing" -- I like the mind-blasting power of that sentence with all its meaning. The mind finds nowhere to settle, like an eagle that must keep riding the wind.
