Ding an Gott



Makes no sense
(unless there is a person at the other end of the pen)
 
(Coming back to )

Kant was right when he announced that we can never answer the question ‘What is a Ding an sich?’, but he was wrong as to the reasons. He went only half way towards an explanation. The full one is that we cannot know it, because there is no such thing. If the Universe is, among others, a message (and it is), it follows that it can be understood only in the context of its sender. To try to grasp the Universe an sich without its creator is like trying to understand a mini skirt without the girl, a Jaguar without the boy or a post without the blogger. Thus, not only can't the Universe exist without its creator and sustainer, but it can't make any sense without him, either.  Forget then about a Ding an sich, think about a Ding an Gott.
