“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Jesus Christ is the Wisdom of God. Origen says: “He is called Wisdom, as we find in the words of Solomon ... He is called Top and firstborn, as the apostle says:“ He was born before all creatures. ”However, firstborn is not something different in nature from Wisdom, but it is the same (with her.) Finally, the apostle Paul says, “Christ is the Power of God and the Wisdom of God.” In verse one of Genesis — the first book in the Old Testament corpus — it is said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth," and in Revelation, the last of the books of the New Testament, Christ testified of Himself, "I am the beginning." In addition to that. we can also quote the words from the Gospel of Jonah, which read: "In the beginning was the Word ... all things came into being through him ...". This means that in His Word and Wisdom, which are Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, God the Father created all that exists. /// ...Christ was not "created" by God at a given time, but on the contrary, time was created in Him. Since God is above time and space, the very generation of the Word is, quite naturally, an over-temporal and extra-spatial act. That is why Origen says, "God the Father never existed, even for a moment, without this Wisdom." /// Origen goes on to clarify the relationship that exists between God the Father and His Son. He writes: "this birth (of the Son of the Father) - eternally and unceasingly resembles how the radiance is born of light."

Probable Impossibilities


Book Description

The acclaimed author of Einstein’s Dreams tackles "big questions like the origin of the universe and the nature of consciousness ... in an entertaining and easily digestible way” (Wall Street Journal) with a collection of meditative essays on the possibilities—and impossibilities—of nothingness and infinity, and how our place in the cosmos falls somewhere in between. Can space be divided into smaller and smaller units, ad infinitum? Does space extend to larger and larger regions, on and on to infinity? Is consciousness reducible to the material brain and its neurons? What was the origin of life, and can biologists create life from scratch in the lab? Physicist and novelist Alan Lightman, whom The Washington Post has called “the poet laureate of science writers,” explores these questions and more—from the anatomy of a smile to the capriciousness of memory to the specialness of life in the universe to what came before the Big Bang. Probable Impossibilities is a deeply engaged consideration of what we know of the universe, of life and the mind, and of things vastly larger and smaller than ourselves.
