A couple thoughts from a Christian perspective. The Bible says, "God's greatness is unsearchable and His understanding is infinite;" and Ecclesiastes also says that man cannot discover how God did what He did. So, at least if one accepts scripture, one can accept the his the limitations of our finite state. Another point is that faith is not limited to belief in God. It takes every bit as much, if not more, faith to believe that what we can see resulted apart form intelligent input. Scripture makes that point in stating "the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that man is without excuse." Without excuse for what? For not seeking Him, the One whose existence can be inferred from what is seen. It turns out He can be found, but the problem is that the belief required to find God is a heart issue. Scripture states, "After that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God; it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe." It also says that not many noble, mighty, famous etc are called (will be come to the knowledge of God). Scripture elsewhere states that pride is a big part of the problem. We won't seek Him -- not because seeking Him does not make sense, but because we convince ourselves that it does not make sense or we only pretend to seek Him. God is there in reality, but many do not want to find Him. <br /><br />Also, we do have eternal souls and will be conscious after this body passes away. The problem at that point, however, is that, at that point, the train has left the station. Now is the time to humble ourselves and seek God. We don't know everything, but we can know the One who does.hammerudenoreply@blogger.com
