I can't recall any specific book or article, but I think I know generally what they are.Enlighten me?
Sorry for being late, but I hope you also enjoyed the holidays!
I haven't studied that, but what it seems to mean is that whenever the possibility of a new physical reality is imagined, the reality exists somewhere, expending the total size of the universe
Well,What would you like to hear about? I am doing a lot of reading for school; "Good to Great" is an amazing book. For myself, "My Inventions" has continually awed me, and for my reason of being human on earth I have been reading in a study group on the 1st century letter from Paul the tentmaker to the church in Phillipi.Ask me anything
The beginning of creation was "out of nothing". The uncaused first cause did not re-use some material or rework or remake anything. He created something out of nothing, so the point is to try to find out what He intends for us while we are present, active, and alive. We are made from the dust and return to it--headed back into nothingness. What to do while conscious is the highest question. To pursue Pleasure? Power? Pleasure is fleeting, and power changes hands just as soon as its gatherers pass away. The point is to challenge these natural tendencies--to be selfless and to give, to reflect the original creator who gave something out of nothing, for benefitting us, when nothing was deserved or earned.
well, if you think that when you die you just repeat in some new form, and then repeat again, that makes sense... but that's counterintuitive. If we repeat, the goal and design would be to have us continually improve...things would get consistently better in the world, not worse as they are. We have a beginning, and (in a way) no end, but we never cross the beginning again.
I agree that "there is nothing new under the sun" and in that sense, yes absolutely people before us have been onto the ideas we have now, before us. However, I think that with time our comprehension does in fact allow for entirely new ideas that have no previous footprints. I believe that life is linear, because it has a beginning.
