Document Summary
F/o what these two readings have in common. Why are they rst readings for this course. Encounter is at end, outside of story. Al mu transcends and yet generates it. The planet is there physically, unlike in borges, but it is not comprehendible. Believed at the core of every religious experience is this: it is a mystery that"s both repulsive and amazing. The universe is not chaotic, it is organized by the organizer. You don"t see power itself, you just see the e ects of it. Palsy"s watch ex: from observations of natural order, to the conclusion there"s a designer. 1: the universe is unlike human artifacts in size, complexity and mystery (hume) (we"re not able to truly comprehend the universe bc it"s so complex and large, and therefore mysterious. For all we know there is something in the universe itself that would allow for us to understand it all, and not some god.
