2.1 Human Limitations

Human ability is real, but limited:

  • Our ability to understand reality is limited; we struggle to fully grasp concepts that go beyond our natural cognitive boundaries.
  • We cannot uncover extremely small or distant phenomena without tools—knowledge of electricity, cells, galaxies, or sperm only became possible after technological advances.
  • Even today, our understanding of our own bodies remains incomplete, including how they function and how to fully prevent disease.
  • Our knowledge of the wider world is still limited and constantly evolving.

The creator of this vast universe must possess capabilities and power greater than what is observed in the creation itself; otherwise, the act of creating and sustaining it would not be possible.

If we still struggle to fully understand what exists within our own bodies and the world around us, how could we expect to perceive or comprehend the nature of the creator?

Think of it this way: if you hire a worker and give him a task for an hourly wage, can he know what is expected of him without you telling him?

The same logic applies here. We need revealed guidance on:

  • Why did he create us?
  • What are we supposed to do for such a short life cycle?

On our own, we can infer possibility, but not full purpose.
