Christians say we cannot comprehend God.
Why?
I've seen and heard of humans pull comprehending all sorts of things. We figure out new ways to do new things every day. We create new things and better understand our universe every day.
Why do we assume a limit to that?
The human brain has a huge number of synapses. Each of the 10^12 neurons (1'000 billion, i.e. 1 trillion) has on average 7,000 synaptic connections to other neurons. Most authors estimate that the brain of a three-year-old child has about 10^16 synapses (10'000 trillion). This number declines with age, stabilizing by adulthood. Estimates vary for an adult, ranging from 10^15 to 5 x 10^15 synapses (1'000 to 5'000 trillion). (wikipedia)
How much info can that many synapes code?
(and I understand that not all of that is available for conscious use)
Could we calculate the equation for the universe given enough time?
