And was widely assumed to be such, a relic of a bygone age.<BR/><BR/>Right. That quiet little old lady in late mediaeval cleaning lady clothes noticed this kid hanging around the library who seemed bright enough but had his issues too. She gave him a book -- The Universe and Dr Einstein. A popular presentation of the Special and General Theories of Relativity. Of which she understood every word. And which allowed the kid to move on to some of things that would go into his doctoral dissertation. And I'll bet she knew her O Antiphons too, in Latin.<BR/><BR/>Guess there WAS something going on under that coif. But as they say, don't tella nobody, especially the Sacred Intergalactic Congregation for the Spirit of Vatican II.Past Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541968132598367551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-5400624449038553272007-12-17T19:57:00.000-06:002007-12-17T19:57:00.000-06:00"Our Lord is Logos - the very logic of the univers..."Our Lord is Logos - the very logic of the universe itself is disclosed in Him, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."<BR/><BR/>...which is why the Christian religion both meets every test of logic AND far surpasses it. The key is to be able to discern, in various doctrines, what exceeds human logic v. what fails to rise even to the level of human logic. Keep the former, toss out the latter.<BR/><BR/>AnastasiaAnastasia Theodoridishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092531121989260111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-18537462085203237732007-12-17T12:16:00.000-06:002007-12-17T12:16:00.000-06:00And for those Lutherans here who are German speake...And for those Lutherans here who are German speakers:<BR/><BR/>17.
