Angels and more

Month, Day: Light, Might (Glory)

Mission and method mentioned several motivations for this blog. Here is a 'for instance' to consider. Recently in the exposition on the 'meaning of life' (on wiki) there was reference to 'angels' (entities for whom mention is found throughout the religious views that follow Abraham's lead) from the Baha'i viewpoint, that uses three main levels of existence, namely human, Manifestation, and God, or we-ans, the Prophets, and the Unknowable, respectively.

Well, 'angels' are of the 'human' realm essentially, in the Baha'i view. However, even the Koran alludes to this with the story of Satan being outcast-ed from Eden. So, what are these humans?

Well, that is a very good question. That view of humans held by science is not what applies here; no as humans were created by God; but, anyone talking that view nowadays is slapped down as ignorant buffoon; so, any thinking follower of Baha'i needs to hold two diametrically opposed views at any time (how does this differ from operationalism?); yet, the Principle of Science and Religion being compatibly supportive of our human ways to know is there and needs more work operationally (and otherwise).

Now, having said all that, even those pushing Science ought to get a handle on the issues of quasi-empiricism, as should everyone. That discussion is still open.
