All is relative...used to be the main slogan among the youth, where I grew up...everything seemed debatable, everything could be mocked or ridiculed, nothing seemed to have lasting, high value.

The Berg-letter there are absolutes was one of the first I "had" to read...and I thought then, that Berg hadn't really understood modern math...irrespective of that, I agreed with him about that general attitude in science and society.

I am very happy, that I have a/the reference-point in my life:Jesus Christ...apart from that truth...I only know truth not ulterior to HIM...

I pity people, who are still in a to Platon likened cave...

The most evil situation would be, that we are all governed by a mad scientist from the beginning and that all freedom is an invention/illusion of his programming and set up.

I am happy to see that even Descartes seemed to have moved away from that position...as that would have been not a good god ...but verily a devil/demon...

Forme, my pendulum has swung back to choice, love...freedom...and aN Almighty, who can't/doesn't intervene for everything we would like Him too...therewith infringing on people's choice and freedom...except may be on some rarer occasions...also demonstrated in the bible...where he stepped in...ultimately it leaves us to choose between determinism..predestination...(I even once wrote to Berg about romans and predestination...I really thought, I must believe in that...Augustine...Luther...Calvin are the proof...that the church went pretty much that way)
and freedom of choice...not so totally different from what Adam and Eve had...God not intervening being deceived of the devil...


There can't be a mad scientist being more powerful than GOD...that would be the success of evil itself...the horror of imprisonment....though some church(y) people behave like "mad scientists" ; )
