I love the part when it says that we dare not answer or ask the unanswerable we tend to leave that to priest and such. Why, I ask myself? Do we leave these things to priest because we are afraid to answer them, or do we fear how people might take our ideas and philosophy's. In the Christian view many of us are afraid of stating something untrue and risk spreading heresy, but I can not see why someone on the secular side could or would not want to figure out the unanswerable. The unanswerable has always interested me. One could say that I am nosy and another could say that I have every right to want to know whatever it is that is unknown to me, wow I was really hoping that last sentence would have come out sounding more sophisticated but I will take what I can get on only a few hours of sleep.

State of the Planet
I found this piece of lit to be very interesting. it gives an inside look on the secular view of the world and how it came to be and how it might end one day. The part that talked about how we took the earth and used to to do certain things really caught my attention. Even thought it is a secular view it showed how men do not create only can they invent. Even thought secular it still posses christian beliefs I found this interestingly not suprising, I just needed something to write about.

I think just as we may not want to spread "heresy" or what not with false doctrine, I think scientists and people that study the planet and try to find answers to "unanswerable" questions as you say don't want to answer some of life's most puzzling mysteries because they like the thought of keeping those things mysteries. It would no fun to know everything, you know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteI think we should all try to fid the answer for the unanswerable, whether it is the question of God or the question of Santa Claus, I believe we must all search on our own and make decisions for things we believe or have views on.
ReplyDeleteI like your honesty, Bobby. I am hesitant to answer the unanswerable because I will most likely be wrong! In fact, I usually would rather ignore the question than ask it at all. But, and Im preachin to myself now, I think we are called to answer these hard questions.
ReplyDeleteWe have a good reason to give an answer to hard questions, unlike the secularists.
I liked your view about the unaswerable. I don't think theres anything wrong with wanting to know the unknown. Most people have a curious side and long for answers that aren't there in the open.
