We can understand complex processes if we learn in steps. I don't see why god could not explain it to us in a way we could understand. I think it would be fascinating to understand how supernatural power works, even if it means going outside of the natural universe and learning about a whole new dimension of physics.(January 31, 2015 at 5:38 pm)Tonus Wrote: Sure. There would be multiple ways for it to be described. The Bible just uses generalizations, but why wouldn't god be able to explain how he did it?Do you really believe that we could understand how God brought physical things into being, out of nothing. I really do not believe that would be possible. It's questioned all the time, why, because we can't even imagine such a process.
If god exists, then the things he does have to make sense on some level. And if they make sense, we can understand them, IMO.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
