Sequitur



God created a universe pure in its mathematical precision. We make our predictions based on logic and deduction and probability, and consistently find that His creation follows perfectly.

So then, one must beg the question... would He really create something that we might be able to fully understand? Of course, we do not understand everthing now... even those properties and laws that we reason to exist have natures that our limited technology and science cannot completely explain. But will there ever be a point when we can... by logic... discover all there is to His creation? Or as we discover more, will we find that creation does not, in fact, adhere to the rules we once perceived?


What then? Do we dare say that God created a universe without reason? Because then all argument for His existence, if not relying on faith, becomes pointless. And while faith ought to be enough, we are human. I am human. And if the reason that sustains me when my faith is shaken is then severed by my own discovery that no logic holds, I am afraid my entire being shall then collapse.

Actually, I think I've answered my own question.

I'd appreciate any thoughts anyone else may have had on this matter.
