Absolute truth and human understanding
#19
RE: Absolute truth and human understanding
Religions so far have produced only liquid definitions of their gods. Gods are like rubber, they bend and shape to nicely fit the holes in the unfinished fabric of reason. When there was ignorance on the place of earth in the universe god created heaven and earth as seperate substances one after the other. Knowing this to be wrong from science left little room for such a view. Now the word of gods is bent to fit simultaneous creation of heaven and earth. Gods feed on ignorance and the urge to fill gaps in understanding.
