But, I'm not convinced this kind of knowledge is useful for the task at hand. <br /><br />So, the reality we live in is a creation, and doubtless the mechanics and techniques used in creating it were/are complicated. God wants it and us here, made it all happen, and now-<br /><br />The task at hand. What are we supposed to do? This is the primary question which needs to be cracked. <br /><br />The blog author asserted in past posts the task at hand is to become more and more like the Creator in nature. This is a pretty good estimation, but there may be other things the Creator wants from us. There is an awful lot going on, and we seem to treat it (especially unpleasant stuff) as errata we create ourselves, but we don't know for sure. We sort of wallow in doubt and self-recrimination over the darker stuff, but it could be something the Creator wants/needs. We have no way of discerning. <br /><br />Communication seems tricky between us and the Creator, but if we get a clear channel we could resolve much, like whether reality is less real than the Creator, and all of the other questions which come up. The smart money seems to rest on getting in touch with God and getting definitive answers to all questions, rather than trying to puzzle it out ourselves with our limited data.
