TOO MUCH DETAIL…MORE ‘HUMBLING’

A little more cosmological reading has occurred. Maybe, maybe a little more of it makes sense.

And then I began to think about some theological study I have been doing with some help at church.

And then I caught a respected commentator speaking from the perspective of a respected religion, on the radio, of this and that specific regarding a number of after life ‘realities’, and the following observation occurred:

Respected cosmological physicists are on the brink of admitting, or perhaps I should say they are even now admitting, that they do not know anywhere near the whole story of the physical universe.
That we could be very, very wrong about significant assumptions currently current.

Now the physical universe is or should be easier to hypothesize about than the metaphysical, should it not?
I think so.

And if we do not really know the score about the physical, should we not be very hesitant to be too specific about the metaphysical?????

Nuff said.

The more specific one gets when discussing the metaphysical, the less reliable the account becomes.

Beware the fundamentalist who goes too far, about anything.

Einstein had some interesting observations along these lines.

How about this: I can say infallibly that on this earth there is no such thing as infallibility…and anyone who tells you otherwise is…truthfully and factually challenged.

More later.
