Wikipedia) as cited in Scripture in the story of Adam & Eve and in Isaiah.<br /> <br />If I accept that yotzer is creator and God is creator then would it not be logical to conclude that yotzer and God are one in the same? As a theist, I believe in the Scriptures. I rely more on Faith rather than on proof however I find the pursuit of the latter fascinating in the yotzer paradigm.<br /><br />If one believes in the Scriptures (as I do), then humanity’s purpose on our Earth is described therein with clarity. Perhaps humanity will evolve to a higher level of awareness and enlightenment and that may be a purpose only known by yotzer. The fact that much is unknown or unproven about our past and future may be a limitation of an unseen, active yotzer. There may well have been a big bang 14 billion years ago. There may be other resulting intelligence in the multiverse that has evolved beyond ours. There may be another dimension(s) that we are not aware of.<br /> <br />I agree with your comment that if there were to be a new theology based on the yotzer paradigm, part of the foundation should contain the religions interrelated with human proof as scientific knowledge evolves.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828551016034566140noreply@blogger.com
