[Vision2020] Religious Diversity Education

[Ted Moffett]

All:

I would rather rewrite Luke's comment to read: "SHE was the One who first 
had original thought, so SHE didn't need to create it."  The female sex 
certainly is more connected to creation, don't you think?  After all, we all 
were given birth from the body of a women.  Of course men were so jealous of 
  and awed by this fact, they had to force male dominated religion upon us, 
to assert their control over the miracle of creation that women represented.

But I wonder, why does "original thought" have to have a start?  Perhaps 
"thought" has always been and will always be?  If so, there has been no 
"first original thought."

Why did God have to create the universe at a point in time?  Perhaps God has 
always been, and our universe has always been, because of course a universe 
that is not infinite in time is limited, and God in his infinite capacities 
would not create something limited.  Time is such a human concept.  God 
could be "outside" time, and his creation of the universe was infinitely 
long ago, "outside" of time, in effect meaning it had no start, as we 
understand this.
