@Herald,
R.S.
There was a time earlier in life that I supposed myself to be much more unique than I actually was. To believe in nothing was the key to what I believed to be true intellectuality. After all, to say anything was actuality as opposed to merely the things that rocks dream of (for instance), would be to throw my hat into the ring of utter commonality and to file myself away as a definitive hard copy. I thought to believe in nothing was without limits and absolutely as unique as it gets. Then my brother-in-law being a Christian said to me one day, "you don't believe in anything right?" I said, "right." But then he came back with. "that's what you believe in, you believe in nothing." Then it came to me, I do believe in something and it's nothing! After all, **nothing was something, how else could I describe my belief without using the strongest **term through which to explain it. I wasn't unique at all, I believed in something and it was "nothing." Now, to believe in nothing (obviously), is to consider something that can't be seen or detected by our senses. It's own definition can't elude the fact that "it" can't be seen. If one should say it can be seen -- you give room for the argument that says, conversation over.
Yet still "nothing" remains something, else no one would ever believe in it. The question "How can something come from nothing" is much more interesting than what a first glance may take-in. When we define possibility by our own limited standards i.e. "what seems possible," we miss the chance to see "nothing," in its actuality. Loosely paraphrased -- biblical scripture says, God's invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen through the creation -- so no man is without excuse. "Nothing" can be harnessed (if you will), by someone who has no limitations. In the beginning God created. To limit actuality because we can't understand it, gives us no platform on which to speak exclusivities. There's ample proof to the affirmative all around us that speak volumes on behalf of actuality. "Nothing," in the hands of the Creator, has unlimited potential. God created all things, yes, I suppose we might even say "nothing," because it surely exits.
My point is not to get us running around engaged in the pursuit of seeing nothing :-) >> far from it, but to come to the realization that our Creator (God) created everything from what was unseen. And that along with everything He created us separate and individually unique to have fellowship with Him. For God so loved the world!
Here's a great question, "Where did love come from?"
God is love, Jesus Christ is the full expression of love.
