Thinking to find the unknown
Hi GDR,
I've been following this with some interest from the POV of my job and the thinking involved. The way you are thinking is exactly the same as I need to use to find unknown and undiscovered oil and gas deposits.
There is no objective verifiable evidence of an unknown and undiscovered oil and gas deposit, if there was it would already be found. They cannot be found using Tangle or Stragglers thinking. That is a path to finding nothing new, and going broke if you are an oil company.
You are able to separate those things which you know from those you believe, or those which suggest something. Others here don't seem able to do that, they believe all kinds of things but claim they believe nothing. Which is untrue.
For those reasons you strike as the most rational participant here.
A few questions:
Have you looked everywhere for evidence of God? If you left something out you cannot claim there is no evidence.
The most important thing about you is you are conscious. When did that occur? Seems to me you would be able to recall such a very important event. Have you even looked?
Is the story of Adam and Eve about some fool named Adam and his chick, or is it about you? If it's about you it means you decided to leave God. You should be able to remember that. The person who wrote the story did.
Tell me what important thing Jesus tells you in John 17-5. Looks to me like JC remembered being with God before the world was. I'll bet you can remember that as well.
If you recalled this you would understand why someone might say the world is an "illusion" and what that means.
Better get to work, figuring this out depends on you, and time is slipping by.
