Subject: So...what is your theory? |
Bible Note: [From EdB][The problem with the zero theory is not one of fact but rather of statement. The theory says zero exists but is nothing therefore for it to exist it has to be something. However stated thus we can see zero can and does indeed exist. Zero is the absence of anything, that condition can be mathematically proved, therefore the absence of anything or zero can be proven to exist. This is the same problem many people have with a belief in God, The problem is not that God does not exist or that his attributes can’t be seen, the problem comes from the non believing person stating conditions of belief that can not be met. Whenever mortal man tries to construct a box around God by the very definition of God we are destined to failure. EdB] Ed, You are correct! Let me restate a few things. Most people associate "0" with "nothing" and most people use the word "nothing" as if it were actually something. People do this because logically they know that absolute nothingness does not exist, therefore it is something. "NOTHING" cannot, will not, and can never exist. As you said, you can't have "nothing" if you have something. In mathematics, everything begins and ends with "0", everything that exists; exists because "0" exists, "0" is sovereign while all the other numbers depend or rely on another number, "0" is responsible for the creation of all the other numbers(they were created from "0"), "0" always exists(it never goes away and eventually it always shows back up), you can always find or turn everything over to "0" simply by multiplying by "0" and everything becomes "0". The point of the theory is: Even if you think, or it appears, you have "nothing" it is not true because there is no such thing as "NOTHING", you always have "something". Case and point, (which comes form the "ZERO" theory) absent everything else that exists, no matter what, whether it appears so or not, God exists and will always exist, you always have God, God is always with you, you can always reach God, and you can always bring God into your life. Some people have responded to my post of the "ZERO" theory, such as you did: "the problem comes from the non believing person stating conditions of belief that can not be met. Whenever mortal man tries to construct a box around God by the very definition of God we are destined to failure." It's not about trying to put a box around God. It's trying to show the NON-believing person, with mathematical proof and logical understanding, that he does indeed exists. "Use your mind to find all of Gods glory and use your heart to love him with all of your glory". |
