ยท Beyond Barbie: According to a study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, popular action figures like G.I. Joe appear to be pumping steroids. In the 1960's, Joe had biceps equal to those of the average man - about 12 inches. In 1997 Joe had bulked up to an astounding 26 inch arm girth. Such large arms dwarf Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire, whose pipes measure in at a paltry 20 inches. (Time, May 31, 2000 p. 26)
I think it's tragic that scientific advances have caused many people to imagine that they know it all, and that God is irrelevant or nonexistent. The fact is that everything we learn reveals more things that we do not understand. (on Proverbs 3:16)
When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of "No answer." It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, "Peace, child; you don't understand." Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask--half our great theological and metaphysical problems--are like that.
