Why do we think (not we personally, but mankind as a whole ;) ) that we can explain the infinite God with just around 800,000 words ?

I by no means think we can or have.

We know just enough to get us through this life.

I've been thinking about Pi these last few weeks now.
And about for an hour on the drive in, was thinking about a comparison of Christianity & Pi and how our understanding is close enough to work, but not fully accurate.

But it almost seems like I'd get in trouble if I state that the Bible can't explain God Accurately* now.

I think I'm going to have to get this as my one & only bumper sticker.

Yeah, it was great. :) Caught up with my brother too.

Had a harrowing eldership meeting at church afterwards though. :)

Church business can get stressful.

Glad the dinner went well. :wave:
