Scientologically
Why is it that we have been so ready to allow science a special province over truth - over reality in general?
Science is little more than a practically minded (useful and interesting) subset of philosophy. Why has it become, unequivocally, the measure of "what is real" and "why things happen" or even "whether things happened"? "It has been scientifcally proven that..." is now a formula for truth.
And it's probably one of the most feeble suppositional bases on which to stand.
We have forced ourselves into a tiny box and it doesn't let in much light.

ironically taking him out of one box we're really good at putting him in another. we're proud because instead of leaving God in our old shoe box, we've instead given him a new home inside a refrigerator box to live in.

You're right, of course. It's so hard to amend what seems to be wrong about the way we see God without making other statements that will only be amended later by someone else because they are too presumptious. How can you ascribe to God the freedom that he has without saying "God is unknowable"?

P.S. My intention on this post was more to suggest that we have put ourselves in a box not necessarily God. Obviously, God can't really be put anywhere - it's ourselves that must constantly change. Fortunately, we will always find him patient and inexhaustible.
