Thorne: I disagree with you. How come that doesn't surprise you? Well, the reason I disagree is only to keep this thread alive. LOL


IDCrew: I don't know how to answer you, I can see how your suggestion works, but I would have to answer that logic prohibits a perfect God conceiving an imperfect creation. And this is just a logical game really: a chicken-and-egg conundrum. Trying to work out, on a reasonable basis, what the supernatural is. You could cut through the question by saying God is a creation of Man and is therefore no more perfect than Man is, which is Thorne's position, or you could just say, the ordinary rules of logic don't apply to the supernatural.

That would mean a perfect god can do imperfect things, a good god is also a bad god, god is love and hate. It would also mean that a supernatural Being could also be a natural person. Opposites would be the same: to bless would be the same as to abominate. In other words, everything would be chaos and totally inexplicable. And that would be intellectually unacceptable.

So what do we do? Give in and trust to blind faith, or do we, as rational creatures, carry on trying to understand?
