No hope for understanding the universe?

by sleepy in

is there no hope for truly understanding the universe?.

if a person believes that we were created by a supreme being who is in control of and fully understands the universe, he may reason that we were created with the ability to also understand the universe.. but if we are not created and have just evolved as part of a natural prosses why should we asume that our brain should have any grasp on a true understanding of things.. how can we know that our brains just are not in tune or cannot grasp any of the fundementaly important concepts that case this universe to exist?.

maybe in trying to understand the universe we are just tying ourselves up in knot trying to know the unknowable?

kid B

I can't agree either.

I think that the fact that we know practically nought about the universe cannot lead us to any conclusions about whether we have a creator or not.

Not understanding the nature of the universe could mean that:
a) there is a god and god never intended us to understand the whole lot, OR
b) there is no god and the universe is just too bloody big.

Another Christmas confession.

by Mulan in

last week, i told about how i watched the christmas eve sky, for santa claus, after my parents became witnesses, thinking he just didn't come to our house anymore.. here is another thing i did.

all through school (my parents became dubs before i went to kindergarten) i participated in decorating the room for christmas.

i sang all the carols, and ate the goodies that were brought my the moms.

falling in love

by kid B in

ok, heres my story.... i am 21 years old, male, and i am not a j.w., but i have hopelessly fallen in love with one.

unfortuntately, i do not believe what she believes in (i use the word unfortuntately because i wish i could believe, but i cant and it tears me apart).

i'm sure that this has happened a million times before, and you guys probably hear about it a lot, but i'm finding it very difficult to deal with, since she has also fallen deeply in love with me, but she feels like the only option is to let it go.

kid B

thanks to eyebrow/stacey/prisca for advice =)

i totally see what you mean, but i really had no intentions in changing what i believe in, and even if i wanted to, i couldnt. i just meant that i wish i could. as far as a real relationship with her is concerned, ive all but given up. the reason why i wanted to find out more is because we are still best of friends and we are both still hurting a heck of a lot, and i would like to know what makes her tick. if its important to her, then i respect it. i dont have to agree, but i definitely respect it. and so i just wanted to know what forces are holding us apart.... and now im starting to understand instead of just blindly accepting.

make sense? maybe not... hehehe
i just wanted all to know that i couldnt change what i do/don't believe in for her...

thanks again to all who replied =)

thank you, thank you, thank you =)
It might not seem much, but these replies really help!

Just to answer a question:
yes she was always a J.W. (ie. raised as one)
Also, thanks for those weblinks and references to other posts within this board that i can read, i guarantee that i will read them =)
Everythings pretty confusing at the moment, including what i am learning about the j.w. religion... seems illogical to me but i wouldnt dare to try and change her; thats the wonderful thing about an individuals right to choose their own beliefs, although i will definitely talk things out with her. We are still best friends, so I think we owe that much to each other.

cheers to all =)

hello all

ok, heres my story...
i am 21 years old, male, and i am not a J.W., but i have hopelessly fallen in love with one. unfortuntately, i do not believe what she believes in (i use the word unfortuntately because i wish i could believe, but i cant and it tears me apart)

i'm sure that this has happened a million times before, and you guys probably hear about it a lot, but i'm finding it very difficult to deal with, since she has also fallen deeply in love with me, but she feels like the only option is to let it go. We both are suffering from broken hearts.

To be honest, i didnt know much about the J.W. religion, i know a little more now, we are very open with each other and share a lot but i can see that she is worried about bringing up her beliefs cause it might scare me off. I have been looking on the web (starting today) to find out more about J.W. beliefs, not because I feel like i wish to change my beliefs, but because my curiousity has driven me to know more. Where do i start looking? I had NO idea there would be SOOOOO much information =).

I'm not intending to become a convert, i just want to *learn* more about the J.W. faith because lately ive found that this is the only way that i can justify the pain we are going through (ie. there must be a reason why i feel so sad, and i intend to learn a little more about it). I'm not angry at all, i hope it doesnt come across like that, i've come to accept that no matter how strong love is, some things just cant be changed. We decided that it couldnt work between us even though i feel like we are absolutely perfect together..... i know we are... its perfect despite our differences and we both know it, but there would be complications..... does anyone have any advice?

Thanks a million, i appreciate any feedback at all
