You and a host of others are the one's that think you have all the answers...and they must be totally logical in order to counted valid.
Step of your box a little and embrace reality.
Do you think that there are any occurences in life/religious expereinces,technology etc. that happen, that on the onset appear totally illogical and irrational to the human mind, but are nevertheless things that have and do happen.
...for example and I'll be curious how you rationalise this...
I was in Ethiopia doing some mission work several years ago An associate with the missionary organisation I was involved with was sharing to a small group of us how he was randomly flying his helicopter into remote areas of the Country, particularily the mountain regions bringing food ,clothes etc and sharing the gospel to people groups who have never heard or seen a white man before, much less the Christian God or Christ, or any religion for that matter.
When he approached this group of very primitive people and landed his helicopter, one man imparticular came running out from his village, smiling,waving his hands, and almost weeping in excitement while welcoming my freind in.
Apparently, what had happened to this villager the previous night and why he was so ecstatic was that he had a dream or vision and Jesus appeared to him and talked with him and told him," a white man will come from the sky, as a bird to visit him and talk to him about me(Jesus) There was no forwarning or previous encounter with God or Jesus up until that point, but God appeared through Jesus Christ to this man and probably changed the whole village.
This is no isolated incident and certainly not limited to this identical experience, but God will do what he chooses to do,regardless of whether or not we can put our arrogant minds around it,because he often works outside the box of human reasoning to put to shame the arrogant intellects of today's philosophical age.
This story is a bit more detailed then that but my point is that logic has it's place
but it's not so black and white as many make it,therefore I think it can't be rational itself for one to hold the position alone that asserts "this is not logical therefore it can not be valid"
This is the essence of narrowmindedness,
I have heard many other stories and testimonies of people who have had smilar experinces and that can be easily rationalised away by skeptics and unbelievers but does not negate the validity of such an experience.
So maybe you need to stop and think for minute about what it is your saying.
We can philosophize this thing inside and out ,but I refuse to entertain you in trying to explain that sometimes things in life and with God are unexplainable.
Is there an answer,conclusion, purpose maybe even a theory, absolutely, but maybe not at present or for that matter in this lifetime.
..so it's futile to think so !!!
Man sitting so proudly on his pinnacal of higher thinking and lofty notions of rational thought, thinking they got it all together,..but whamm....!! God does something only God could to do and put to shame and silence the wisdom of skeptics of this age.
And I believe He is about to do it again on a grand scale.
