in-fraction: Karl Jaspers on creation

http://in-fraction.blogspot.com/2007/12/karl-jaspers-on-creation.html

Is the work done? No, for still the Scars are open. Tuesday, December 04, 2007. Karl Jaspers on creation. Real knowledge, that is objective knowledge, of what exactly we mean by the word "creation" is impossible to us, he says. If we cannot achieve objectivity about the world we live in, how then can we expect to swallow the origin of this world? So, then, creation. And what if we could swallow it? And even if we could fully grasp it, would we grasp an answer to how we come to think and to know? It is my...

in-fraction: What Jody is After

http://in-fraction.blogspot.com/2014/09/what-jody-is-after.html

Is the work done? No, for still the Scars are open. Friday, September 05, 2014. What Jody is After. So jumping right in for the initiated: What is Jody after? What is his point? And i may have to lump my cousin into it as well.). Examining his statements carefully, here's my restatement. He'll have to tell me if I'm off the mark or not. Jody cares because he wants liturgy to matter. The words and prayers of the church are traditions that affect real change. Blessing is a way the grammar sets somethin...

in-fraction: Sometimes All You Need is Permission

http://in-fraction.blogspot.com/2015/05/sometimes-all-you-need-is-permission.html

Is the work done? No, for still the Scars are open. Friday, May 08, 2015. Sometimes All You Need is Permission. Sometimes all you need is permission. You have done the hard work. You have asked the questions and assembled the data. But, for some reason, concluding remains elusive. Maybe what is missing is permission. Permission came for me in the words of Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart. In the March edition of First Things. All reasoning," says Hart, "begins from a venture of trust whose truthful...

in-fraction: Plantinga pulls a Samson

http://in-fraction.blogspot.com/2008/08/plantinga-pulls-samson.html

Is the work done? No, for still the Scars are open. Friday, August 01, 2008. Plantinga pulls a Samson. Lvin Plantinga throws out a cute little argument against naturalists, or, in other posts here, reductionists, in the July/August 2008 issue of Books and Culture. It is quite a straightforward move, almost syllogistic, and it goes like this:. Natural selection doesn’t care about truth, it cares about sex, and if false beliefs mean more sex, then that is fine. Out of one hundred beliefs, how many will be ...

in-fraction: The universe in twain

http://in-fraction.blogspot.com/2007/12/universe-in-twain.html

Is the work done? No, for still the Scars are open. Thursday, December 20, 2007. The universe in twain. This is evidentially real to me as I clumsily begin trying to live in a world where the Bible and science exist. It is a bifurcated world where the split is sometimes visible sometimes not; a double world in which truth goes by many names by no fault of its own. If I hold a mirror to my face you will see two of me, but not because there are two. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Great Chain of Being.
