Just wondering
Sometimes I wonder at the audacity of man.
If a power so great it can create life from nothing exists, why do we think it is within our realm to understand it?
What if God created a substance guaranteed to grow and evolve and travel through time and space via the big bang, that eventually became us (along with everything else?)? Then we created a little story about gardens and God making little people he magicked into life -- because we are not gods and don't understand a power that great?
Everything we do on this earth is done with things that already exist. We cannot create life without a living donor of some sort. Everything we make is out of something already here somewhere.
And yet we like to think we've got it all down pat.
Each of us believes our God speaks our language and has our customs and looks like us and does things we consider ethically and morally right, but why should an all powerful entity be enslaved by our ideas, or limited by our understanding?
We want to know things and control things so badly we are willing to make things up, but that doesn't make them true.
