God, Energy and Matter

[Lek]

We both agree about the things we don't know. And yes, I  like to believe that everything has transcendent meaning and I  believe it does. Mankind has recognized this from the beginning.  It's what makes sense.

Well, people thought we were the center of the universe for a LONG time. If you read, for example, Archimedes, you will find that the thinking was the whole universe was small enough to fall within what we now would have be the orbit of Saturn.

Under such conditions, maybe, having 'transcendent meaning' might make some sense.

But today, we know the Earth is one small planet orbiting a rather dull star in one of billions of galaxies. Thinking there is some transcendent meaning that includes us seems rather egotistical to me.

Believing that we have an existence beyond the physical universe and being subject to a transcendent God is not egotistical.  The universe is all a manifestation of God.  There is no part of the universe that is more important than another.
