I wrote this up for my science class, but thought it might be applicable on here too. I went to a free showing of "Black Holes" at the planetarium as part of my class requirement and had some neat "aha" moments there.
One
thing that really stuck out to me
near the end of the show was something that the narrator said. He said
something like “If nothing else, the idea of black holes has helped human minds
to really stretch more”. Right away that made me think," So if
we knew everything about black holes
and everyone got stuck in that way of
thinking (even the thought being true), it wouldn't give much for our minds to stretch and ponder about it." In the same
way, if we knew everything about our
lives or everything about truth as it is (like really
knew, without a doubt), it wouldn't give any room for our minds to stretch
beyond to other possibilities. Maybe there is
only one true possibility, but I think there really is something to being
able to see outside of that, to think outside
the box. If everything we know is spoon-fed to us, how could we ever learn
for ourselves?
I'm so glad for faith and the growth our Heavenly Father allows us by not telling us everything. I bet it takes a lot of faith on God's part for me that I'll follow in his ways, even when I don't know everything. I hope that I can live up to the trust I know God has put in my life. I'm going to try anyways :)
