While waiting to pay for my groceries yesterday I listened to a conversation that I did not understand at all. Advanced Mathematics. It sounded like a foreign language. I major in words but find numbers puzzling. So I came home and looked up some of the words. But the definitions were so over my head they just led to more words I needed to look up: Bionomial coefficients, Polynomial expansion, Pythagorean theorem.
After about an hour, I realized I would have to spend a vast amount of time and energy to actually begin to understand more than a basic concept of such a topic.
I believe that higher math is a reality, even though I cannot comprehend it or begin to explain it. Math can be infinite if you keep adding to the equation.
So it is with my faith in Jesus, the validity of the Holy Scriptures, and Heaven. I have spent almost 30 years studying these subjects. And I still have so much to learn. I know there is much scientific evidence to prove the validity of my faith. But even the top scientists have finite minds.
How can a finite mind fully grasp the infinite?
Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you cannot see.
I am certain that in time, science will not disprove Jesus is God. It is simply a matter of humanity's finite minds growing enough to comprehend the science of this truth. Meanwhile, the truth remains over our head. What we do with it is our choice.
I choose to believe in Bionomial coefficients, Polynomial expansion, Pythagorean theorems, and Jesus.
