Hume's examination on the nature of God is rather intriguing. I find that his examination on how the true nature of God must be, using his logic, and how we as humans perceive him to be to be very logical and interesting to read about. I particularly like in Part 2, how he believes that it is wrong for us to try and pierce the veil of obscurity around the mysteries of how the universe works, saying that it is insulting to God. I have never really thought about how God might perceive human's insatiable desire to know everything about everything. It seems like such a vital part of the human being, our innate curiosity, that I have never truly thought that there are things humans truly shouldn't know about how the universe.
I commented on Francesca M. Garcia's post.
I thought that it was interesting as well. It's in our nature to strive to know all we can, essentially try to know everything. I never really thought that it could be wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting subject because I have sometimes thought that maybe we as humans aren't meant to know everything as God does. It makes me think of humans striving to be like God, and then pushing ourselves into the fall.
ReplyDeleteI think we as humans were given a higher intellect over all other organisms so that we may constantly pursue new knowledge.
ReplyDeleteTrue. That was an interesting take on the mysteries of God. It's a strange balance. In one sense we should leave some things to mystery and in question. Yet we have this urge to know, this desire to learn and establish truth that we should seek to satisfy to an extent. Good point!
