“There is a fundamental difference between the Jewish idea of creation and that of Islam. The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought. Outside His will, outside His thought, all is nothing, even the things which seem to us absolutely self-evident such as space and time. Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists; and all manifestations are as a witness of the Divine will.” IdeasSelfMomentsSeemsUniverseGivenWishDifferencesSpaceExistenceSupportEventsCreationDivineUniqueFundamentalsConstantIslamWitnessManifestationPerpetualEvidentTime And SpaceDivine Will Author:Aga Khan III

“It is a testament to the fundamental honesty of football that Israel, with nothing to play for, overcame Russia in Tel Aviv on Saturday.

“The essence of science is that it is always willing to abandon a given idea, however fundamental it may seem to be, for a better one; the essence of theology is that it holds its truths to be eternal and immutable. To be sure, theology is always yielding a little to the progress of knowledge, and only a Holy Roller in the mountains of Tennessee would dare to preach today what the popes preached in the Thirteenth Century, but this yielding is always done grudgingly, and thus lingers a good while behind the event.” MayLittlesIdeasDoneSeemsTodayScienceReligionGivenBehindsProgressCenturyEventsWillingHolyMountainEternalEssenceFundamentalsDareTheologyAbandonPopeTennessee Book:Minority Report Source: Minority Report

“Metaphysics is the study of the most general nature and basic structure of reality, and therefore the concepts of metaphysics, concepts like time, space, identity, resemblance, substance, property, fact, event, composition, possibility, etc., are the most fundamental concepts. Thus metaphysics is the most fundamental theoretical discipline.” FactsRealitySpaceStudyEventsIdentityPossibilityDisciplineConceptsFundamentalsStructurePropertySubstanceEtcCompositionMetaphysicsTheoreticalResemblance Author:Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
