The Most Important Philosophical Question

 The concept of a creator of the Universe is a philosophically logical question that any intelligent person would consider; life being such a strange occurrence after all. And it would take someone not very bright to fail to realize that the question has a 50-50 chance that one can answer either way. One may find whatever answer to that question one does, yet like most philosophical questions it requires a crassness beyond measure to try to abuse or bully people into agreeing with their viewpoint. Some people are made to be lost, and others saved. Some are destined to eternal life with God and others to oblivion or worse. Believe it or not.

Atheists may be compared favorably to deer caught in the headlights of an approaching car mesmerized by the bright lights in the dark-like stars in the vast Universe- and lose intellectual capacity to realize that the phenomenality of being is subjectively interpreted and the true cause of everything including their own thought may be beyond their grasp. Appearances can be deceiving.

Metaphysics is just fine- it simply means greater physics. In a way that is the basis for many cosmological theories extrapolating beyond observable, known physics. Christians like Augustine were brilliant with interesting ideas about time. He was a Plotinian before becoming Christian. Plotinus's Enneads- 54 tractates are a great paradigm of neo-Platonism explaining Platonic metaphysics at length from Plotinus' point of view. I am a believer in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Phenomenally it is rather wonderful that He made an appearance in this Universe on this planet. Historically, if one learns the Bible and its content with some depth it is very challenging not to believe that Jesus is God. It is popular of course, these days, as reactionaries to Darwinism, to have a contra-point of view. I believe that is because of the unofficial politicization of the Church that has drawn followers over the ages. The tide turned in that element after European revolutions against royalty combined with Darwinism, and in the modern world consumer comfort driving economic development has also reduced interest in faith for a substantial percent because people become so comfortable without it.
