With the faces, I'd say, they are completely wrong in representing my face. ;) (See. What face EVER looked like *that*?!)
Well, actually, when I make the faces I am usually making something like them, but I make a TON more than that. And they loook a lot better on me than on the computer screen, even the frowns... (IMHO)
Well, God never was in a situation that needed wisdom as I think of it, because He knows all, past, present, and future. He also never needed to reason anything, and He understands everything.
Well, I don't know, all those things seem to be how it would be, but God is SO far outside of my paradime that I have no idea.
But, then He might have just created them as a means of knowing Him, cause like Harm said, He created everything.
I've never been known for my brains, so don't think too hard about what I said.
LOL. You're so humble. ;) Yeah, the smileys aren't the most accurate at depicting the limitless diverse human expressions.
God does have infinite wisdom. But, that statement implies that wisdom is part of who He is. It implies that wisdom existed from eternity, because He existed from eternity. "I [Wisdom] was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was" (Proverbs 8:23). God is Wisdom, you could say. So, in my view, since God has existed, so has His wisdom and reasoning from all eternity.
After you I'm probably the most humble person in the world.
So, do you thnk He created them.
I guess since He didn't create Himself and they are a part of Him then maybe He didn't create them. Again, I think a lot of it is how you use your words.
LOL. Yes, you can be the second (almost) most humble person in the world.
God created human wisdom, intelligence, and so forth, but He is Himself the quintessence of all wisdom. So, how could He create one of His very own attributes, as you say? He was from eternity the all-wise God, I believe. Human intelligence and reasoning are just finite reflections of God's infinite intelligence and reasoning. Since God does not change, I don't think that at one point He didn't have this reasoning (etc.) and then at another point He did. But... obviously His quality of intelligence and reasoning is infinitely superior to ours.
So did He create any of the atributes that are reflected in us? I dunno. There is so much to know and so *little time to learn it. Well, nevermind. I have a lOOOOng, LOOOOOONG time to learn about God. *shivers*
Ah, the quote. No, I don't agree with the quote. There's truth in it, but it's not accurate. The truth to it is that by revising history (attacking the past) historians are able to influence people and affect their behavior (control the future).
You're right. People are largely predictable. Large groups of people are even more predictable. So, naturally history does often repeat itself. People seem to never learn from the past.
Economics? Ah, I think that's one of the few classes I got an A+ in at USF, but I've forgotten most of the material. *Checkes grade* Well, not an A+ 'cus they didn't have plus/minus for that class, but over 100% on the three tests after about 6% curves. :P :) (They've really dumbed things down at universities these days, especially compared to the 1700/1800's...)
Hopefully you can remember what you learn better than me! :/
Well, I hope so. I really like the stuff. So much that i am thinking about taking it as an elective.
My economics book just keeps saying (over and over) "history repeats itself". This is suppossed to help you with stocks, etc. it actually does though, so, whatever.

Ahem, especially in economics... (I think I've been studying economics a little too much.)
