What came first? The scluptor or the sclupture.

Ponder a beauitfully carved statue carved from a solid block of marble. The sculptor didnt add to the block. The sculptor uncovered what was already there. Possibilities are infinite. The truth remains; The statue in its entirety was there before the sculptor was even born.

True, every possible sculpture was already in the block. One may then choose any idea or pick at random a form to sculpture out of it.

There was, too, Everything, from which some universes came, just as every possible potential book exists in the imaginary Library of Babel.

Is any book or universe right or wrong? No, for the information of all the paths of everything sum back to nothing.

Welcome, new kid on the block, to help learn the form of our universe.

check out this quote i was just this moment reading >>



Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see
your images which came into being before you, and which neither die nor
become manifest, how much will you bear!" (Gospel of Thomas)

how much will you bear!

I guess they won't like it that they came from 'nothing'. That's even worse than from the ape-like ancestors in our family tree, not to mention the first bacteria guys.

A higher, sculptured angel comes for the human sculptor who is sculpturing an Egyptian scene.

Space makes everything possible. Space is everywhere present, even between the atoms. How much space is there between atoms? Alot! Did it ever dawn on you that the entire universe fits all inside the same room?! Space is so much like the Tao. Is space realated to God? Space is the father of possibilities. Without space it would be impossible to have possiblities.

Following your logic,

So you are implying god didn't have a choice in creating the universe? And if not, how could he create the universe if it wasn't possible.

Did God create himself or was he eternally here? If He was here in the eternal past so was space. Unless you are implying that space had to be created. 'The Tao(God) that can be told is not the eternal Tao(God)'. If you try to define God you falsefy Him. God is beyond definiton. If an atheist and a theist were to argue about God, they both would be right and both would be wrong, which would make God the topic that would unite them.

So then how do people appreciate such concept.

Do you have to define a cold drink of water on a hot day in order to appreciate it?
