Hindu Perspective: Counter to God of Gaps Theory
#25
RE: Hindu Perspective: Counter to God of Gaps Theory
@Krishna: You are working under a lot of assumptions there. First, why would you suggest the universe is infinite? We are only able to observe a limited portion of the universe, and that doesn't tell us if it is finite or infinite. And knowledge is not directly proportional to the universe, at this point, yes it may very well seem infinite, but then again infinity is a tricky concept in itself. For example, if you draw a line of finite length, you can still view it as an infinite series of smaller lines connected together. So infinite or finite depends on the perspective, to put it simply.

Now regarding god-of-the-gaps, God has existed in the gaps of knowledge of ancient men, and whenever science fills that gap, there is no god to be seen anywhere. So there is no reason to assume a god exists till actual evidence is provided.
