LIMITLESS UNIVERSE,
HUMAN LIMITation

For the last several centuries, man has been engaged in the scientific study of the universe. Many big minds have been involved in this work. Scientific research has reached the final truth that the universe is so vast that man cannot encompass it. According to the latest scientific findings, man’s knowledge barely covers around 5% of the universe. And even about this 5%, the limitedness of man’s knowledge is such that the more we discover, the more we learn how little we know about things. That is, we are knowing more and more about less and less.

To know about the creation is to know about its Creator. Given that man has been able to know only about 5% of the creation, for someone to insist that he be given complete information about the Creator before he can accept Him is an unreasonable demand. When man’s state is such that he is very far from having acquired full knowledge of the creation, how can he obtain complete knowledge about the Creator?

The existence of the creation is within space and time, while the Creator’s existence is beyond space and time. When man is so limited that he cannot encompass things within space and time, how can he encompass something beyond space and time? In this world, man can discover God only at the level of ijz (helplessness), not knowledge.
