Continuing a look at the origin of reality...largely inspired and derived from George F.R. Ellis' brilliant brief book, BEFORE THE BEGINNING.  He is NOT responsible, though, for the liberties I've taken with his logic or how I've chosen to illustrate it. Kenosis--a Greek term, used in theology, the doctrine that Christ relinquished His divine attributes so as to experience human suffering.  It literally means an emptying, a draining out in Greek. Looked at in broader terms, it is a common theme in many religions and mythologies. Prometheus suffered eternal torment to give his creation, mankind, a better shot at survival. Odin gave an eye s

Looking at some non-theological interpretations of materialism that are not as bleak as the existential crisis brought on by pure materialism...
