Eternity: A Curiosity-Driven Exploration Into Eternity And Creation

Eternity - A scholarly yet lighthearted look at life's biggest question examines the nature of eternity together with its nearly inseparable partner, creation, in a narrative blend of light-hearted and "fire-up-the neurons" reading. It takes a refreshing, up-to-date look at a topic of increasing interest to all who have been bludgeoned by the atrocities of modern life. Eternity - a scholarly yet lighthearted look at life's biggest question -- is a book for all who seek, who question, who enjoy chasing curiosity to the ends of, well, wherever it ends. . Starting with a single but explosive Bible quotation, Jer1: 4-5, (Before I formed you in the womb I knew you"), the author takes readers on an inquisitive, rational, and sometimes jocular journey into the mystery of how it is for humans that there is no present, and how it is for God there is no past or future. We investigate the real reason for our creation and then grapple with the creation issue itself. En route we explore knowing, loving, and thinking. Yes, we actually think about thinking! Such mental meandering eventually leads us to realize that what is created cannot also be the one who created it. Once we've mastered that conundrum we move on to the how of creation, the what of creation, and the process of creation. We proceed from "faith in things unseen" to a fuller understanding of faith because of things seen. We discover that like Moses and the people of Exodus, we are being led to follow a trail of knowledge that leads directly to the Creator. Eternity - a scholarly yet lighthearted look at life's biggest question is a quest for knowledge. It is the product of curiosity, questioning, and thinking. Hopefully, it will also be the cause of curiosity, questioning, and thinking. If so, more of us might follow the trail.
