In the last post, I argued, or at least implicitly suggested, that given a Christian conception of God, we would not expect to exist in a physical world — i.e. one of a different substantive class than God, which is governed (for all we can tell) exclusively by natural laws and where we have little to no direct experience of the divine.

This post is the first in a series meant to highlight potential absurdities of a Christian conception of God where "Christian" here is being used as an umbrella term for any faith that affirms or endorses a view of God based on the Bible.

Epictetus said, "Content yourself with being a lover of wisdom, a seeker of the truth." One could say this is the very purpose of Ryan Downie's life. What drives him, he said, is knowledge and understanding, an insatiable desire to learn.
