He who holds absolute power knows that I never want to risk distorting His Word, and when studying it, I always record the tools I use to try to reach some understanding: in the following passage, for example, I dared to replace the expression "the earth" with "the universe," since the term "the world" already appeared in the following period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nHe created the universe with his power;<\/span>
He established the world with his wisdom,<\/span>
And with his intelligence he stretched out the heavens.<\/span><\/p>\n(Jeremiah 10:12)<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThis construction satisfied me because of its sense of order, because of the citation of the elements in a sequence of containment\u2014physical sky.\u00a0\u2282 <\/strong>IT IS CONTAINED<\/a><\/span><\/span> world \u2282<\/strong> IT IS CONTAINED<\/a><\/span><\/span> universe \u2014 and by allowing a true understanding of the "Let there be light" in the conscious and ordered act that was the moment of creation.
Allow me to take the liberty of using the same device \u2014 replacing "the earth" with "the universe" \u2014 in the following passage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nWhere were you when I laid the foundations of the universe?<\/span>
Tell me, if you truly understand?<\/span>
Who determined the limits of the universe's dimensions?<\/span>
Perhaps you have the answer!<\/span>
Or who stretched the measuring line across the face of the universe?<\/span>
And as for its foundations, on what were they built?<\/span>
And who laid the cornerstone, the foundation stone, while the morning lights, like the Dawn, sang together and all the angels, sons of God, shouted for joy?<\/span><\/p>\n(Job 38:4-7)<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\nI find the consonance of this passage with the Psalm where it is mentioned to be spectacularly beautiful. the origin of spirits<\/a>, But\u2014completely disregarding and even inviting to leave those who lack the faith to believe\u2014have you reasoned in such a way as to restrict the Creator's power only to the limits of this world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allow me to quote one of the formulations developed by the British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAny sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.<\/p>\nClarke's Third Law<\/a><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
If in 1980 we were presented with a fully functional smartphone, we would probably compare it to some fantastic type of TV; if we did the same in 1880, the device would already be almost inexplicable, since the telephone had been discovered in 1875<\/a> And, far from being popular, it was still very little known\u2026 in 1580 a smartphone would certainly condemn its owner to one of the bonfires of the Inquisition.
Similarly, mentioning the concept of "universe" before Christ would be utterly inappropriate, and humanity, throughout history and completely lacking reference to certain temporally inexplicable concepts, has come to treat certain elements and aspects of creation as legends, fables, fairy tales, fantasy stories, fiction... things created by the mind and subject to mockery.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Predetermination of Free Will<\/h3>\n\n\n
