Re: Jeansaw,
I'm glad you've found this interesting and stimulating. This has been one of my favorite blogs, the one that I started with back in 2006. There have been a number of interesting discussions with people I wish were still writing here.
Somewhere in it, I wrote about my concept of what God has to be, to be God, and what it can't be, to be God. The essential of it, is that God is everything that is, with complete consciousness, absolute awareness. It is for us to get in sync with that, and now and then, to say thank you.

god particle -- even physicists
cannot totally comprehend
they just figure that it is
they have also conjectured that the Universe has a mind and intelligence via some other of these subatomic particles
we do have to remember that when we deal with something so infinitesimally small (as also with something as infinitely large as the Universe itself [universes within universes within the Whole]), it is impossible to comprehend totally, only an infinitesimal portion of such.
but
i do believe scientists are discovering what was hinted at in the Old Testament name of God- YHVH -- meaning Existence. All that exists. This is a neutral thing that is ALL THERE IS -- then the word, LOGOS, as found in John I:1 -- which means "expression, purpose, intent". Somebody in those times at least had an inkling of what scientists are now discovering and what religionists have refused to discover in the face of scientific inquiry since Galileo at least.
the Universe is a fascinating thing, with more aspects then we can imagine.

Re: Jeansaw,
Welcome to my corner of the universe! It's always a pleasure to find someone else who likes the view!
I've always figured science would catch up with what some, in our hearts and spirits, have known for a while.

this was so well written, i cant imagine anyone
taking offense to it. i agree with you and kabu. little by little God will be found, and i believe that when he is, we will finally realize just how connected we all are to each other and to nature and the universe.

Re: Kabu,
I know some will find this post offensive. But not the ones who really do understand that God is not in rules and dogma, but in the simple truths of caring for each other, of seeing beauty in the world, where others only see things that make them uncomfortable... If we love where others hate and fear, if we create light where others make the obstacles that throw shadows--ignorance, fear, greed... Then God works through us, and we increase the Light of the world. That's what I believe, and I am glad you are here with your lamp, too.

The first thing that set me free was to accept that the Bible is not a
Scientific document, but the stories of a people who understood the concept of one God....and etc. You are right I feel when you say that our smallminds limit God, and God annot be limited. God is. ....creator, love, empathy, nature, understanding, science, a-sexual, on and forever. God dwells within me and I cannot explain that except by calling such a thing.... Faith. I loved this post.

Re: Pat,
Yes, though I don't think true scientific inquiry came until the Greeks. I can see how it would have been the height of understanding, though. It has been a very long path to get science to the place where it can begin to actually inquire about such things as the Bible--even in its Babylonian beginnings--expressed in metaphor.
The study of the history of the Bible is also fascinating!

Interesting blog. Many of my own questions there, too.
I once heard it said the Bible was actually the peak of scientific knowledge at the time it was written - which means there's been a bit of discovery since the first chapters of the Old Testament were first inscribed.
