As far as "where" the universe is, the universe is the sum total of possible physical places, so the question makes no sense: there's no "place" outside the universe for it to exist within (cf. Book 4 of Aristotle's <I>Physics</I>).<BR/><BR/>As far as Robert G. is concerned; I'm not quite sure what planet he's speaking to us from. The post was quite clearly addressed to Christians and Christian concerns and made no pretense of speaking to his far-Eastern "philosophical mindset," to use the phrase loosely. But I suppose he needed a venue to ride his hobby horse, no matter how much force is required to shoehorn it in.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Gagnon, it's admirable that you've found your way in the dictionary to words like "puerile" and "simulacrum," but the phrase "truth or whatever" is less than impressive, as is the tired cliche of Westerners evangelizing for far-Eastern religion.<BR/><BR/>LGLawrence Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242322119143922513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10944560.post-1146863511986608202006-05-05T17:11:00.000-04:002006-05-05T17:11:00.000-04:00Excellant.

Creationism, evolution, the arguments continue, but is there any difference in God’s mind? What has the creator revealed for our insignificant minds to understand? Perhaps too simple, but it might be just this. We are spiritual beings in a physical existence that cannot be fully understood. For all the expertise of science, which might eventually explain this universe we live in, will it ever determine where it is? Do other universes exist? Will science ever answer these questions? Mystery will always envelop us, as it always should, the nature of an all-knowing God and his created. The humble part for me then, is this.<BR/> The spiritual child in me embraces the wonder of a God who could create the universe, and all that it contains, in six days and rest on the seventh.<BR/> The spiritual adult in me, embraces the wonder of a God who could create this universe and all that it contains, reflecting with perfect magnificence His profound power, and that He is timeless.<BR/> To constrain God to either understanding attempts to place limits on God. The God of all creation is boundless!
