A Reaction to Pieper's "The End is Silence"
"God exceeds all our capabilities of possessing him, that all our knowledge can only be the cause of new questions, and every finding only the start of a new search."-Josef Pieper
"The End is Silence"

This perhaps should answer it all. How are we to find out if God exists or not, when we are only human? How can we perceive the unperceivable, fathom the unfathomable, explain the unexplainable, when we are only limited creatures, incapable of even trying to understand ourselves? What much more of something, or someone greater?

St. Thomas couldve provided us with his Five Proofs, (http://www.aquinasonline.com/Topics/5ways.html) only that they were proofs from theory and reason. Could he really capture in words the existence of God, or of a natural order? Does this natural order have to come from God? And what is God?

Blaise Pascal tells us to wager, but what to choose? He restricts us with only two options, believe or dont believe. Well what if the origin of all that we can or cannot percieve does exist, but there is no end? Or that the end would come naturally. What if there is the Higher Being, but what if He isnt the God we know? What if there is no afterlife at all? Besides, the idea of an afterlife was also incorporated in us upon birth, and that it came also from our forefathers. How are we to know? Who is to answer these questions? Man, like I? But as I said, man like I cannot because knowing these things would strip him of his being human. And then, what will be presented to me, more postulates, more words? Will we not all find out, when we pass this world?
So really, God exists, because He had been, ages ago, even when man hadnt found out about Christ or our Creator, God the Father.

The only thing that we can do, and I suggest we do, is live this life following an unknown path, or order.
