What is the emptiest of empty?

Question

can you find the source of God?

Answer 1

These two questions appear to juxtapose two different ideologies. The first sounds quite Buddhist, but the second--by invoking God--seems theological (because of deification).

To the first, I would say, "yes."

To the second, I would say, you invoke the common question of causal chains and their origins. It is like a child asking, "what came before that?" only to repeat it for every answer the adult gives.

The only answer to the second question is paradoxical because there is no beginning if one looks through a linear, causal line of action; however, some of conceptualized time in new ways calling linearity and causation into question. From a religious standpoint, I think one would claim that God is the source of God (circular definition, I know; but that would be the claim).

Answer 2

The emptiest of the empty is that which contains the least.

Sun God might be said to have been created indirectly by the Big Bang.

Answer 3

That which would be God would be the source of his own existence. The emptiest of the empty would be evil, which as the privation of the good, is also deprived of being.

Answer 4

no i really can't!
It's hard to imagine and comrehend but maybe everything just repeats itself and there was never a beginning or end just a perpetual cycle in time. and something non physical like how a thought would be represented entered into a vaccum(cause it's emptiest of empty) and created that and time

Answer 5

Let's not confuse an inability to answer with depth in the question.

"Empty" is an absolute state which allows no comparison. All "empties" (whatever that is) are equally "empty" (whatever that quality is).

The following is a tale of two zoo cages. Both appear empty. But in one cage, two female tigers lived for four years. They were removed yesterday; hence, the cage is "empty" (of tigers).

However, in the other cage, two other tigers, a male and female, were kept, also for four years. In that time they mated and gave birth to three cubs. Yesterday, five tigers were removed from the second cage, even though only two were placed there. Hence, that cage is "emptier" (of tigers) than the first.

While that is meaningless to the casual observer with no knowledge of the facts, the zoo-worker who tended the tigers might agree that the second cage is "emptier" -- at least it would seem so to him.

This, then, is the source of God: our need for a constant observer who gives meaning to the otherwise "empty" nature of our understanding, in spite of the facts open to our observation.

Answer 6

Not according to the wise man.

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it...Ecc.8.17

Good luck!

Answer 7

Perfect peace you do not know you have because you do not exist. (or) Hatred with no recourse to the essence of Love, no memory of Love, no having Loved nor Loving, impossible hatred. (or) An absolute notion in concept that has a greater version of its self, as in your question. Proof that negative insipidity is worse than positive insipidity.....No its not; that's just a contradiction, not an argument.
