In the theological cosmos, human understanding have for thousands of years travel into the boundless expanse of divine contemplation. Theology, we can describe it as a metaphysical odyssey, navigates the depths of faith and reason, probing the ineffable mysteries that lie beyond the empirical grasp. Here, questions echo like cosmic whispers, and the soul becomes a celestial navigator, charting a course through the luminous constellations of belief. Theology is the transcendent voyage where the finite seeks the infinite, and in the celestial screenplay of revelation, humanity glimpses the cosmic choreography that orchestrates the divine order.

I think that it is a relatively good approximation to truth — which is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations — that mathematical ideas originate in empirics. But, once they are conceived, the subject begins to live a peculiar life of its own and is ... governed by almost entirely aesthetical motivations. In other words, at a great distance from its empirical source, or after much "abstract" inbreeding, a mathematical subject is in danger of degeneration. Whenever this stage is reached the only remedy seems to me to be the rejuvenating return to the source: the reinjection of more or less directly empirical ideas.

The existence of God is not logically necessary, and yet, on the basis of some profound peculiar empirical order in the universe, it seems that He exists as the ultimate uncreated Being, implying a paradox, as no logically unnecessary entity can be uncreated.
