SNORKY, Nice post. I agree that mathematics is the language of the universe. I read a bit on physics, astronomy and cosmology. I have learned to appreciate the beauty and power of the equations that God created to form and govern the universe. According to many physicists the surest sign that a fundamental equation is correct is when it has a sublime beauty, form and symmetry. I don't know enough math to be able to make that determination but I will take their word for it.
The Biblical metaphors about God speaking the universe into existence may be far more literal than metaphoric.

Paula, you said: ;)

However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-
We can't even imagine what God has prepared for us! It hasn't even entered anyones mind- ever!
That's awesome!
I, too, believe that there is much more that God wants to teach us while we are still here on Earth. It's why we are all here. God is working out His plan.

I agree, with you. :)
It is not yet time for us know. We should strive for prize because of our love, trust and faith in The One who has given us everything, not because "of" the prize.
Paul wrote in the same letter as you quoted:
1Cr 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Cr 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
God has given us everything we need in order to run and receiveth the prize; I think the "mastery of temperateness" is a wonderful baseline and measuring stick. Sometimes I am NO WAY as temperate as I should, but thankfully God is working with me on that. :)
We have so much to learn and it is all right here at our fingertips. God is with us, because we are in him. :)
That fact just blows me away!!
Love in Christ,
Darren
