In modern day belief systems, Quantum Mechanics has replaced
Trinity belief as "most complicated thing for humans". Compare:
"Anyone who claims to understand quantum theory is either lying
or crazy," -Richard Feynmann
"anyone who tries to understand the Trinity loses his mind"
Augustine But of course, there _are_ people who understand
Trinity throughout history and there _are_ people who understand
Quantum theory. Yet they both maintain this mystique, one from
20th century quantum theory and one from .. oh, at least 150AD -
present, so about 20 centuries. The early Church hotly debated
Trinity doctrine, just as we debate Quantum theory today. There
may be an 18 century span (1800 years) between the debates, but
to me, it's the same level of attempting to clarify with
precision concepts that involve a combination of subjective and
objective, participation and observation, in a system that is
both timeless yet under continual, ceaseless change that's only
loosely predictable in the larger picture, but seems to
disappear in clarity when one gets to the "how many angels at
the head of a pin?" or "how many possible states in an open
Universe across the span of Time?" So, is this an unfair
comparison? If so, why so? If it seems more or less correct,
why? And more importantly than my questions, what are your
thoughts? [which is also a question*tongue emoticon*]
