Sense

Went for a sushi feast yesterday. The idea was to enjoy the 'Buy 1 free 1' promotion by our beloved Sushi King, but the fact that we treated the dinner as if we're having a sushi buffet (despite numerous reminder that it's not) was...erm...scary? It was awesome. Anyway, that isn't the highlight of the post. The sushi thingy is mentioned here by demand. = )

It was about what happened before the feast. We did an extremely stupid laboratory exercise; so dumb that i would be dumber if i explain to you what it was. Lecturer isn't very mindful and helpful. Worse still, he doesn't really know what he wants. And worst yet, we're trying to make sense out of something that doesn't.
And hey, isn't that what we homo sapiens always do? Attempting to explain and reason every single occurrence in the universe, we came out with astrology, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology...and the list seems to be expanding like the Big Bang theory. Then, lo and behold, we have theology.

Theology = the study of religion and religious belief, or a set of beliefs about a particular religion (By Cambridge Dictionaries Online)
OR
Theology = the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; especially : the study of God and of God's relation to the world
(By Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)

A study of God aye? I love finding out more and more about the God who gave me a life to live, the God whom i entrust my life with. But as mere creations, who are we to confine The Creator to our limited wisdom?
2 extremes : People that would search for explanation for everything or die trying; and people who lives in absolute ignorance. Most of us lie between the two.

Of course, the general school of thought is that we should balance between the 2 extremes. Search for what we ought to know, and ignore the rest 'by faith'. Then the questions comes : How much is enough? If we fail to search for certain things, are we to ignore them 'by faith', or continue searching?

Sorry if i have caused you to be more confused with life, or faith; truth is both are confusing. That is why we're called to have child-like faith.

Life does not make sense...to begin with.

The Creator created the universe, then man, then men turned away from the Creator, Creator feels sad and decides to draw them back, came as a man, crucified so that men can return to Him, resurrected, wait and watches the world coming to an end,win the final battle, comes back to rebuild and restore, and together with His creations...live happily ever after.

Forgive me, but in such limited capacity of my mind, this story just doesn't make sense to me. Yet i know, 'by faith', that it is true. So it makes truth doesn't make sense as well. And if even truth doesn't make sense, why should we force to make sense of every details in the universe?
