Here's a little something I wanted to talk about on the next issue of Cornerstone, but I never got around to do it. I figured I didn't have too much to talk about anyway, so I'll just post it here. By that I mean I'm gonna write it now from scratch. Let's hope I make sense.
Oh...already I've forgotten my point...
Wait, it'll come to me...
Oh right here it is...
Some non-believers ask why science cannot prove the existence of God. I may have a solution to this question.
First, I shall begin with this question: Do we know all there is to know? Can the combined intellects and knowledge of our entire species hold the answer to every single question?
Realistically, I think we don't know everything that can be known. I think every humble person will agree with me on this point, that humans have limited knowledge and intellects.
God, assuming He exists and is whom Christians believe He is, is perfect in every aspect, and perfection is a concept humans cannot fully understand, for nothing in this world can be described as perfect. If our entire species is colour blind, likewise we will never understand the concept of colours for we have never encountered it. Everything has flaws, whether they are minor or major. Now then, can a human's limited mind be capable of understanding God through science?
If humans, through methods we create on our own, are able to understand God, He would not be much of a God in my opinion. If God, a being of endless power can be contained by limited capacity of a human mind, He would not be infinite as God should be.
I am not degrading science. Science is a gift of God. If this is not the case, we will never grasp the slightest idea of Him. It is by His power that we can understand what we can about Him.
I do not believe it is His will to confuse us by not fully explaining Himself to us; we cannot fully understand with our limited minds. As long as humans are created with imperfect minds, we will never fully grasp the greatness and power of God.
