To All,
This topic or new thread is being prompted for several reasons.
1st - It is my mathematics undergraduate thesis that I am writing for my degree. Extracirricular activity I suppose.
2nd - I wanted to see if I could back this up with biblical verses and things of that nature.
3rd - I wanted to share it with you.
NOTE: Mathematical formulas and such will be left ouf of this topic as I believe they are not necessary to understand when this topic is discussed. The more that I post on this, I want to write a book about this sometime.
I will present a new thing ocassionaly after there has been time to get some feedback on it from you. Here's the intro to it.
How big is big and how small is small? How can one conceive of aleph null? Is there something beyond infinity? Are we in eternity or is it beyond us?
Time:
What is time? Is time just a contraption invented so that we humans could relate everything to a frame of reference that is comfortable for us? Why do we need time?
Time is merely a frame of reference that allows us to order our lives and things that happen in our lives. Most systems are not designed to be bound my the rules of time. To me, I do not think that time exists. I think that we are out of time, but our universe and earth was made to be bounded by time, why is this?
I think if Adam and Eve had not eaten of the fruit and things that Ray has said that has taken place, we would not have a full understanding of God as we do. It is only from a finite and limited point of view are we able to appreciate Him fully and see Him in a grander light than we would have if all we knew was eternity. When does time itself step out of eternity and become for us day and night?
Most of the mathematical forumals are not based on time parameters? Why do we need to limit ourselves to time? Every civilization has had a form of a calendar or method of keeping time. Is the moment that we depend on time the moment of the death of a civilization. Death does not make sense unless it is looked at from a perspective based in time. I am wondering if time and death go hand in hand. I know that if death did not exist then time would not exist.
It only seems when death is introduced into the picture that time takes flight. Yet, I know in eternity and heaven the ones that are there, are not concerned with the passing of time? Sometimes I wish that these limits would not be here. It is truly hard to be a nonconformist.
Yet, in the frame of time that we are in that is called day and night, seasons, and the Gregorian calendar, are we not in eternity? Are they not one and the same? For eternity is like a geomoetric plane. The definition of a plane in mathematics is a set of lines that form a geometric shape that extends into infinity and beyond. Is the plane not time? Is eternity not being out of the plane and being able to see it all and all the points that are on the plane? What can contain infinity? Aleph Null. Aleph Null is the set that contains infinity. Infinity is the set that contains all the numbers real and imaginary. How this can be, I can understand from a mathematical basis, but it still blows my mind.
I will stop here. There's so much here. Any Scripture and thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
