Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.

Guth's 1999 Analysis of Expanding Pre-Big-Bang Models
ReplyDeleteAlan Guth concluded this study as follows: "In my own opinion, it looks like eternally inflating models necessarily have a beginning...As hard as physicists have worked to try to construct an alternative, so far all the models that we construct have a beginning; they are eternal into the future, but not into the past."
Just one small example of crazy confusion even for smart people. Is not obvious to even lay people that 'eternal' transcends future , past, now, time and duration? Why is it that the conflation of transcendent eternity (or The Eternal One) with creation, endlessly and ineffectually formed in order to demonstrate a proof for the existence of The Transcendent Eternal One?
It seems like ' faith' is a lot of talk but very little value.
We seem inclined to think of eternity as some sort of state where things are forever in motion. But in fact according to wisdom and reason, eternity and actuality are the same thing. Not something moving or becoming, but something that IS. The substance of which is incomprehensible to something existing forever in a state of potentiality. Which is why man needs myth in order to know Truth.
