Chris, not arguing against your belief system, but once you say your perception of God is something beyond our comprehension, surely that is the end of what you can possibly say on God. Any possible attempted explanation or perception is superfluous to that statement,
What I meant was that the
higher dimension is beyond our comprehension, well beyond mine at least. I probably inserted one too many commas, sorry. My concept of God is rather vague and is still under construction and certainly open to modification as new ideas are presented.
The
really smart science boys have been hypothesizing about multiple universes and extra unknown dimensions in addition to the four that we're familiar with, because, as I understand it, their complex differential mathematical equations start to give more meaningful results when they adjust their variables to allow for them. When mathematical equations start to produce meaningful solutions, that's usually an indication that you're on the right track.
But the weird things some of these guys are talking about these days in their attempts to explain the universe makes me wonder if maybe they've been over-indulging in coloured tablets and white powders.
Their ideas sound like pure science fiction to most people, and I certainly don't fully comprehend their work, but I'm not going to dismiss something as fanciful rubbish just because I don't understand it, which is why I try to keep an open mind on everything and basically adopt the view that
everything, no matter how fanciful it sounds (eg wormholes
), is possible until proven otherwise. One scientist I saw in a documentary on SBS tried to describe parallel universes as being like slices of bread in a loaf. He was quite serious! He had difficulty trying to explain the higher dimensions.
One day, someone might come along and tell us that we've got it all wrong and give us a nice simple explanation that we can all comprehend, but I'm not holding my breath!
And if one day someone manages to create a simple life form in the lab from basic inorganic building blocks, many of us, myself included, will have to seriously rethink our ideas. So far, no one has come even close. We can synthesize amino acids etc. but joining them up to create even the simplest living structure, like we're asked to believe happened spontaneously in some ancient turbulent pond, is still way out of reach. However, if that day ever comes, I think we will be in for some ructions!!! I wonder how the Muslims will react?
