    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    I would draw the line at 'all are', there are degrees of proneness'. Best speak for yourself, it is fine to express your own opinion. The subject of the faith, such as a reality represented by such concepts as Heaven, Christ, or God, etc. does exist in these cases. Not that I agree with the...

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    Well Audie, I sincerely wish you all the best in your life's journey also, and you are not prone to self-deception I trust.

    Well dear Revoltingest, I wish you well in your journey.

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    Golly, you are one cat that curiosity is not going to kill! Seeking something is like school, each year's curriculum contains the prerequisite learning to prepare the student for the next grade, and so on through each grade until graduation. So it is with the seeking to know what and who one...

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    So what is your actual experience wrt discovering the risk of seeking something and finding it, instead of what was there? If you are meaning by your aphorism that if when one seeks, that which is sought, depending on what it is, may not be realized absolutely right away, but may require much...

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    If you are telling us that in all that you have ever sought in this life, you have never or rarely found what you truly had sought, that is so sad.

    Yeh....Big Bang?

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    Actually there is a Chan/Zen saying showing the underlying unity of existence that goes... "That which seeks is this which is sought, and this which is sought is that which seeks." - Wei Wu Wei I am an expression of the Universe, if I seek my source, I find who I really am.

    Should Christians support progressive tax systems?

    ...and wine! But then he didn't need to buy it, get him some water and 'Bob's your uncle'!

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    That's fine. My intuitive starting point is that the human ego mind's 3D analysis of a multi-D singularity will only ever yield a limited viewpoint, a 3D viewpoint. Therefore training the mind to meditate eventually allows the more holistic approach that includes the seeker as an integral of the...

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    Paradoxically, this process of learning of our state of relative ignorance wrt absolute reality creates a humbler awareness which is more conducive to integration with God, rather than the hitherto differentiative analytical approach that tends to separate the seeker for that sought.

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    Close. I would call the multiverse quantum existence a unitary spacetime continuum with human 3D spacetime conceptualization being an artifact of the human mind that is essential for the living in a 3D body.

    Spacetime is Eternal and Omnipresent

    I don't-knowism actually applies to all human beliefs/conceptualizations wrt absolute reality/spacetime continuum/God, including both religion and science, but there are some humans who are not aware that they really don't know, ie., they don't know that they don't know.

    Should Christians support progressive tax systems?

    Render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar's and to God what is God's means just that, it is perfectly ok for one to have an opinion on or preference for, a particular tax, and how it is spent, but that has naught to do with one's religious practice. In a democracy, we wear two hats, one for God...

    Am I the body?

    After watching this, you should be in a better position to answer the question...imho.

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    Fair enough, let science continue its job and better its understanding.

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    Thank you, I think there is still a lot of research ahead for science to understand fully the history of the universe.

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    I agree, there is no nothing. So presuming a BB beginning of the universe, there was something other than nothing pre-existing the BB.

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    Well all the best with that Regiomontanus. :praying:

    Genesis - Big Bang mash-up

    But there is no evidence there is such a state as nothing afaik. You say it is not expanding into anything, that means nothing. This is not a word game.
