In an infinite universe there is no absolute truth. In a relativistic universe all individuals see things differently. The principles behind the universe can be described in words, pictures, math or countless other ways and they will not ever bring about an absolute truth or definitive picture of the universe.

What you fail to realize is that each individual is on their own infinite journey and each will have varying needs and means of furthering their progression and evolutionary development.

Some may seek personal growth through poetry. Others through art. Some may seek simply vegetating as a couch potato. The point is diversity means there is no right or wrong way to learn.

If Johannes wants to find God in science, that's his prerogative. It wouldn't be my choice - and I may even bias it - but I am not Johannes. If Michael seems a bit overeager in his questioning and probing for written descriptions of what's happening in the universe that's his prerogative as well. For those who seek the answers to the universe via mathematics and trying to explain reality via equations that's another method.

There is no wrong method here Davin. The moral of the story is what's wrong for you may be right for another. What would not be benficial to you may be beneficial for another.

I am nonplussed by how many folks watch LOST, which on the face of it seems like a soap-opera remake of Gilligan's island. Yet, I am told by others that I do not know what I am missing - that it is spellbinding and great. Who is right? Neither and both.

For those who enjoy it - great. For those who don't - great too!

That's whats at work all over the world. Everyone seeks to better themselves or their conditions based upon what appeals to them and what they desire out of life.

Long before there was advanced math, there were ponderers and thinkers who would voice their thoughts. Much was gained by these thinkers, even if everything they ever knew would later be discounted - the public thinking process itself - contributed to greater discourse and set an example for other to pursue their own 'truth'.

Life is filled with such relativistic values.

I find that when I bias something as negative, I have something to learn about that something to restore a balanced view. That's why I don't bias your apparent condemnation of my own efforts - because I realize that for you, your view is correct. At the same time I realize everyone is correct (or wrong) and that it is merely a game of infinite, relativistic perspectives that sustain a personal truth in the sub-context of the greater absolute truth which is the sum of ALL things and ALL disparate views - and which is never attainable by any single individual.

All we can do is learn ever more, experience ever more and expand our minds and thoughts proportionately - even though they will always be infinitely small next to the greater whole. However, what ever we have experienced an learned will always be relative and a part of the greater whole.
