God

What, then, is still left to be discovered? And I mean that, not in that we have discovered it all, but in that we have barely touched the tip of the iceberg!

Is it laughable, then, that we think we are so far "advanced"?

But how could God, Him Herself, have done all of this?
It just seems like too much! Then again, is it all relative?
Do we have the capacity to fathom all that there is?
Is that "capacity" expanding ~ with each generation"? "Evolutionarily"?
Do some have more "capacity" than others?

This all seems so esoteric, yet comprehensible-----
I guess its just another one of those woes of God...
I'll keep trying...

Is God a Mathematician???

Answer: NO.

It is true that God created the universe which is perfect in every way. The universe is without a doubt mathematically correct. Many people would argue that because God is the creator and the universe is mathematically correct then God is a mathematician. However, the definition of a mathematician is someone who studies how things work. Since God is all knowing and already knows how everything works, there is no need for him to study. There is nothing for him to solve. Thus, God is above mathematics. He is NOT a mathematician.
