God's unfathomable existence
Hi there.
In the book of Genesis it is said that God created man in his image. This can be interpreted various ways
That bit of Genesis I do take literally. I think personally that anthropomorphism cannot be inferred because of the opposite scenario; God truly builing us around what he looks like, a persona.
For a while I thought that intelligence was what made us different from animals, but I think high intelligence alone, doesn't produce a persona. This is a mystery to me, that the persona we have, is not in any animal, therefore, it maybe a truth that that is because we are the only persons. Thus you can get dolphins who have no persona, but do have intelligence.
As for reasoning etc. It's true that we think in subjective terms, so we are prone to hysterics and rash conclusions.
Logis itself doesn't find problems with God, but humans. The key is to find the ability of wisdom, which will allow for the only premisses possible in God's case; speculative ones.
Therefore, this fully gives the human the right, to search out the matter himself, and come to a good conclusion, despite having a ack of knowledge.
My new axiom reads thus; If I cannot understand God, then I'm not meant to, or I'm simply not thinking har denough.
